House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Sets Dates for Surface Transportation Road Show

As we reported last week, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica announced several cities throughout the country he plans to visit and hold field hearings and a public forum on the pending surface transportation reauthorization bill.  AGC has been working with Chairman Mica and Transportation Committee Members who will be hosting these events to ensure that AGC members have the opportunity to share their views on what the Committee should prioritize as it writes the surface transportation bill. The Road Show will take place February 14-25.  Chairman Mica will visit Beckley and Charleston, W.V. on February 14; Philadelphia, Pa., on February 17; Scranton, Pa., and Rochester, N.Y. on February 18; Columbus, Ohio and Indianapolis, Ind., on February 19; metropolitan Chicago, Ill., on February 20; Vancouver, Wash., on February 21; Fresno, Calif., on February 22; Los Angeles, Calif., on February 23; Oklahoma City, Okla., and Jonesboro, Ark., on February, 24; and metropolitan Memphis, Tenn., on February 25. Times, locations, and witness lists for the field hearing and public forums are still being finalized.  Once they are set AGC will share them with our members to ensure maximum AGC participation in these events.
