Schiff Joins Bipartisan Senate Effort to Help Remove Wildfire Fuels From National Forests

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Pasadena) has joined a bipartisan group of senators in introducing the Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance Act, which aims to reduce wildfire risk by establishing a USDA grant program to offset transportation costs of woody biomass from forest-thinning projects. Supporters highlight that high transportation costs often lead operators to leave the material in forests.
