Chairman Sam Graves to Speak at APTA Legislative Conference
 APTA is excited to announce that Representative Sam Graves (R-MO) will address APTA's Legislative Conference, May 18-20, in Washington, DC.
Representative Graves is Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
The Committee has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation, including public transit and passenger rail.
Sam Graves is a proven, effective committee leader. From 2019 to 2022, he served as the Transportation Committee's lead Republican Member. Before that, he served four years as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
As a small businessman, a sixth-generation family farmer, and a professional pilot, Chairman Graves has a deep understanding of how infrastructure and developments in transportation technology can fundamentally impact and benefit our economy, our communities, and Americans’ livelihoods.
Utilizing his substantial experience, he is leading the Committee in the 119th Congress as U.S. leaders work to address our growing infrastructure needs, take on the challenges of providing reliable investment in our transportation network, ensure that America's rural infrastructure needs are not left behind, and harness innovation to more effectively and safely move goods and people throughout the country.
