President Obama is scheduled to sign the Surface Transportation Bill at 4:55 p.m. EST (1:55 p.m. PST). The long-awaited transportation bill includes America Fast Forward, which would make it possible for localities — including Los Angeles — to accelerate their transportation projects. Congress voted (House: 373-52, Senate: 74-19) to approve the bill last Friday, June 29. Watch it live on C:SPAN and whitehouse.gov/live, beginning at 1:55 PST
