Senate passes transportation bill, sends to House Mar 14th 2012, 17:05 WASHINGTON | Wed Mar 14, 2012 1:05pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate on Wednesday passed a two-year, $109 billion transportation bill to rebuild roads, bridges and rail systems after rejecting numerous attempts to load the measure with provisions ranging from the Keystone XL oil pipeline to waivers from Obama administration health insurance policies.

House Speaker John Boehner said last week he planned to take up the Senate version in the absence of such support.
