Links to Upcoming Legislative Issues

On November 18, 2011, President Obama, signed the Fiscal Year 2012 Transportation funding bill that includes a provision, written by Senator Susan Collins, that will allow 6-axle 100,000 lb. trucks to travel on all federal interstates in Maine for 20 years instead of forcing them off the highways and onto Maine's secondary roads and downtown streets.

It has been determined that Maine law allows this provision to go into effect immediately, without further State action. Therefore, as of the President's signature, trucks weighing up to 100,000 pounds are authorized to travel the interstate highway system in Maine as well as in Vermont.

A copy of the link to Maine law allowing this is can be found HERE. 

Thank you to Sen. Collins and congratulations to our members who have worked so hard on this effort!
