The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA), regarding President Trump signing the Modernizing Government Travel Act:

"This is a win for consumer choice, our economy, taxpayers and federal employees. We applaud President Trump for his decision to sign the Modernizing Government Travel Act, promoting consistency among federal agencies and supporting more options and more innovation in transportation."

"We thank Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Seth W. Moulton (D-MA) as well as House and Senate original cosponsors Reps. Will Hurd (R-TX), Mark Meadows (R-NC), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tom Carper (D-DE), Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) for putting this bill across the finish line. Sharing economy platforms such as Lyft and Uber will help the federal government save money while providing sustainable, high-quality solutions."
