FILE - This March 13, 2014 file photo shows Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Obama administration is sending a four-year, $302 transportation plan to Congress, hoping to jump-start a national debate on how to repair and replace the nation's aging infrastructure and accommodate the needs of a growing population. Foxx said Tuesday that action is urgently needed because the federal Highway Trust Fund is expected to run dry by late August. He said that unless Congress acts to shore up the fund, transportation aid to states will be held up and workers laid off construction sites across the country. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
