Join TCC Fly-In to Push for Transportation Funding

You are urged to join your industry allies in Washington, D.C., on June 4-5, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency Washington for the Transportation Construction Coalition’s 2013 Legislative Fly-In and deliver the message to Congress that timely reauthorization of MAP-21 must be a priority.  Remember that lack of action by Congress to address Highway Trust Fund solvency before September 30, 2014 could lead to significantly reduced highway and transit funding in future fiscal years. Many members of the House and Senate are not convinced that this is a problem. They seem to think that states will make up whatever decline there is in Federal funding. They need to be educated and this is the perfect opportunity. Please make your room reservations directly with the Hyatt Regency Washington by calling: 1-888-421-1442. Ask for the TCC Fly-In rate at $309 per night. The TCC room block has expired but rooms at that rate may still be available. The schedule for the meeting is as follows: Tuesday, June 4, 2013 11:00 AM – 2:15 PM – AGC Legislative Briefing & Luncheon 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM – Legislative Briefing (Key note speakers and members of Congress will prepare you for visiting with you Representatives). So far, speakers include House Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) and the Transportation Committee’s Ranking Democrat Nick Joe Rahall (D-WV). 6:00 PM – Capitol Hill Reception Wednesday, June 5, 2013 7:00 AM – 7:45 AM – Continental Breakfast 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM – Congressional Visits Registration and other Fly-In information can be found here: http://www.agc.org/cs/events/conferences/Transportation_Construction_Coalition For more information, please contact Brian Deery at (703) 837-5319 or deeryb@agc.org.
