Miller Introduces the Small Business Transportation Investment Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) introduced a bill to curb the shortage of transportation vehicles in the private market. The Small Business Transportation Investment Act will address the shortage of vehicles available to small businesses that provide transportation services by creating a new program within the General Service Administration’s (GSA) Fleet Vehicle Sales Program that will sell used vehicles from the government’s fleet to the industry at cost.

“COVID-19 had a devastating impact on the passenger ground transportation industry and caused a gap in transportation services available around the country. The Small Business Transportation Investment Act will help local transportation companies stay in business while providing jobs to workers and mobility to the public. This bill will require the GSA to set aside half of the annual inventory of government vehicles it auctions to the public for purchase by small businesses, ensuring the success of local companies throughout the United States,” said Congresswoman Miller.
