On Sept. 9, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ô¤²â helped lead an ad hoc coalition of 88 national trade associations and labor unions in calling on Congressional leaders to take action on three priorities: (1) a turn-key, one-year extension of the current surface transportation law—the FAST Act—with increased investment levels; (2) emergency federal funding for state departments of transportation and public transit agencies—$37 billion and $32 billion, respectively; and (3) provisions to ensure solvency of the Highway Trust Fund for the duration of the extension at a minimum. This broad coalition initiative is an essential component of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ô¤²â’s ongoing effort to demonstrate to Congress the strong, groundswell of support for action on these priorities.
