House T&I Subcommittee Chair to Address Highway and Transportation Convention Session

At AGC’s 94th Annual Convention in Palm Springs, Calif., the Highway and Transportation Division will meet on Friday, March 8 – the session will feature Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) who will be discussing the outlook for transportation legislation and funding in the 113th Congress.  Rep. Denham is the Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials. In the last Congress, he served as chair of the T&I Committee’s Economic Development Subcommittee. Since Rep. Denham is only starting his second term in Congress, chairing these two important subcommittees is a testament to how highly regarded he is by House Republican Leadership. As a subcommittee chair, he is part of the T&I Committee leadership and included in all of the strategy discussions regarding transportation issues. Before his election to Congress, Rep. Denham served in the California legislature and worked closely with AGC in the effort to mitigate the impact of the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) diesel retrofit requirements. Because of California’s unique status under the Federal Clean Air Act, CARB’s rules could have an impact on diesel powered equipment owners in other states.
