Obama signs 5-year surface transportation act into law

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama late Friday afternoon signed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act into law. After years of stymied efforts to address the nation's aging and congested highways and transit systems, Congress found the sweet spot for passage of FAST on Thursday — a 5-year, $305 billion bill laden with enough industry favors, parochial projects, safety improvements and union demands to gain overwhelming support.
The bill was approved 359 to 65 in the House, and 83 to 16 in the Senate.
