The Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act (H.R.1659) highlights Washington's failure to address infrastructure needs until crises erupt. While allocating $151M annually through 2029 tackles a critical safety issue, it's a band-aid on decades of bureaucratic neglect.

The bill's focus on expanding parking capacity at weigh stations and repurposing existing facilities proves targeted spending works - but why did it take 25+ years to prioritize this? Every dollar spent reactively fixing parking shortages is a dollar NOT spent preventing future failures.

Real efficiency means proactive planning, not just writing checks when truckers risk lives parking on shoulders. This bill's necessary - now audit every line item to ensure funds build actual parking spaces, not more studies.
