Summary:

As part of its proposed reauthorization of highway and transit programs, the House has passed H.R. 3550. This bill contains a provision that would require the Secretary of Transportation to establish a program intended to improve the safety of Intermodal equipment (trailers and container chassis) used to haul Intermodal cargo and reduce conflicts between trucking companies and companies that provide the Intermodal equipment. The Senate-passed reauthorization bill (S. 1072) does not contain a similar provision.
