Rally for Roads

AGC teamed up with our transportation and construction industry allies in sponsoring the “Rally for Roads” which took place on March 20 on the National Mall. Local construction companies transported construction equipment and nearly five hundred industry representatives, including workers in hard hats, provided the backdrop for the rally to draw attention to the economic importance of enacting a multiyear transportation reauthorization bill. Members of Congress addressed the crowd including: Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.), T&I Ranking Democrat Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), T&I Highways and Transit Subcommittee Ranking Member Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) along with Representatives Tom Petri (R-Wis.) and Jason Altmire (D-Pa.).
