“International automakers are committed to investing and manufacturing in the United States, and those investments depend on access to reliable energy, critical materials, and the infrastructure necessary to support a modern and competitive auto industry,” said Jennifer Safavian, President and CEO of Autos Drive America.
“The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is an excellent step towards modernizing the federal permitting process and will help reduce unnecessary delays, provide greater certainty for long-term investments, and strengthen the foundation for continued auto manufacturing growth in communities across the country.
The United States has an opportunity to strengthen its position as a global manufacturing leader by making it easier to build, invest, and innovate here at home, and we appreciate the bipartisan work of Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Mike Lee (R-UT), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), and the White House behind this legislation. Autos Drive America and our members look forward to working with Congress and the Trump administration to advance permitting reforms that support American auto manufacturing, investment, jobs, and economic growth.”
