WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. David Rouzer (R-N.C.) has been named chair of the Subcomittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials, House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo.) announced this week.
Rouzer, beginning his sixth term in the House, is one of six chairmen of Transportaiton and Infrasturcture subcommittees chosen this week.
“Having served on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since I was elected to Congress, I understand the importance the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials has in shaping the integrity and future of our nation’s transportation and supply chain systems,” Rouzer said in a statement. “As the Committee addresses surface transportation reauthorization, I’m eager to begin working with Chairman Graves and my colleagues to bolster our nation’s rail and pipeline infrastructure to improve safety, our energy security, and strengthen America’s economy.”
Rouzer is sponsor of a current bill requiring Amtrak to disclose salary and bonuses for its top executives, as well the criteria for determining those bonuses. That bill, H.R. 192, passed the House earlier this week [see “Bill requiring disclosure …,” Trains News Wire, Jan. 14, 2025].
