House Republicans Unveil $15 Billion Air Traffic Control Funding Proposal Amidst New EV Tax Debate

House Republicans have introduced a significant $15 billion plan aimed at modernizing air traffic control systems, garnering support from various industry advocates, including the aviation sector. Alongside this proposal, the GOP is facing pushback from advocates mobilizing against a new $200 tax on electric vehicles (EVs). The efforts come as part of ongoing reconciliation discussions in Congress, with additional funding measures being debated, including a potential $20 per vehicle fee. Key Republican lawmakers, including those from the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, are actively working to consolidate these proposals, highlighting the critical need for enhanced safety in aviation.
