A coalition of local officials from across the country are calling on Congress to oppose proposed legislation that will allow an increase in the length and weight of large trucks traveling on commercial highways.

“Longer and heavier trucks would cause significantly more damage to our transportation infrastructure, costing us billions of dollars that local government budgets simply cannot afford, compromising the very routes that American motorists use every day.”

    Would think they’d invest in public transit, trains, and other stuff to lessen the burden on the road, but that’s asking too much. Esp for people like me who are slowly losing the ability to want to drive despite the necessity. It’s just rough being audhd let alone anything else where that causes issues but you can’t get anywhere without driving or walking distances that just aren’t possible bc sidewalks and other pedestrian friendly things don’t exist now 😭
