El proyecto de ley garantizar\u00e1 que el trabajo de construcci\u00f3n en todo el pa\u00eds no se detenga abruptamente a finales de este a\u00f1o y realizar\u00e1 inversiones que generen empleo en infraestructura como carreteras, puentes, autopistas y rutas para bicicletas y peatones.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNuestra prioridad n\u00famero uno deber\u00eda ser crear buenos empleos con salarios dignos\u201d, dijo Merkley despu\u00e9s de la votaci\u00f3n del comit\u00e9. \u201cInvertir en infraestructura es la mejor manera de crear esos empleos ahora mientras sienta las bases para una econom\u00eda fuerte en el futuro. Los proyectos de ley bipartidistas que crean empleos como este son exactamente en lo que el Congreso deber\u00eda estar trabajando\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>La extensi\u00f3n de esta legislaci\u00f3n respaldar\u00e1 3 millones de empleos en todo el pa\u00eds. Pas\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s del comit\u00e9 por unanimidad, con diez dem\u00f3cratas y ocho republicanos votando a favor.<\/p>\n<p>El proyecto de ley crea un programa completamente nuevo para mejorar y actualizar la infraestructura de carga de Estados Unidos. Esta disposici\u00f3n invertir\u00e1 hasta $400 millones el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o en proyectos en todo el pa\u00eds, creando puestos de trabajo y ayudando a las empresas de Oreg\u00f3n a llevar sus productos al mercado.<\/p>\n<p>El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n incluye una disposici\u00f3n basada en la Ley de Seguridad de Ciclistas y Peatones del Senador Merkley que requerir\u00eda que el Departamento de Transporte cree medidas separadas de rendimiento de seguridad para usuarios motorizados y no motorizados. En los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os, el Senador Merkley hab\u00eda escuchado de grupos como AARP, la Liga de Ciclistas Estadounidenses y America Walks sobre la necesidad de aumentar la seguridad de las carreteras y aceras para ciclistas y peatones. En 2013, hubo 55 muertes de peatones en Oreg\u00f3n. Al evaluar la seguridad de la infraestructura para todos los usuarios de nuestro sistema de transporte, se alentar\u00e1 a los estados a invertir en mejoras de seguridad, como carriles para bicicletas y cruces peatonales bien se\u00f1alizados, que detengan las lesiones y muertes prevenibles entre peatones y ciclistas.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON &ndash; Today, Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley helped to pass a bipartisan, job-creating transportation bill out of the Senate&rsquo;s Environment and Public Works Committee.
