As chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Shuster, R-Pa., plans to negotiate budget proposals and investment guidelines that affect the nation's highways, bridges, rail lines and airports.
Shuster anticipates meeting Monday with President Donald Trump about a Federal Aviation Administration reform bill, and believes the president also might want to travel to see proposed infrastructure projects in the coming weeks.
He said his staff members have been meeting with White House personnel and federal transportation department personnel almost daily.
