Congressman Richard Neal says the House passing of the National Defense Authorization Act includes a provision to protect CRRC contracts.
According to Neal's office, the NDAA previously would have prohibited transit agencies from contracting with the Springfield-based rail car maker as part of a ban on federal funds to purchase buses and railcars from China.
But, Neal says he was able to work with Senate colleagues to allow CRRC to continue to work on secured bids.
