Section 1401 of MAP-21, entitled Jason’s Law, is named after Jason Rivenburg, a Schoharie, New York, truck driver, who lost his life on March 5th, 2009 when he parked in an abandoned gas station to wait for a load delivery. How is the money disbursed and how do states go about applying for the funds? Congressman Tonko will answer these questions and more as we provide an important update to Jason's Law.
