TCC Fly-In & AGC DOT Meetings: Find Out the Latest Washington Developments on Funding, Contracting, Innovation

June 10-11, 2014 | The Mayflower Hotel, Washington, DC AGC urges its members to participate in this year’s Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-In and bring the message to Congress that: The Time is Now: Fix the Highway Trust Fund!  With the Highway Trust Fund projected to run short of cash as early as July 2014, slowing Federal reimbursements to state DOTs for ongoing contracts and the very real potential that there will be no federal funds available for new highway construction projects starting on Oct. 1, 2014 – Congress needs to hear from you. The Hardhats for Highways campaign was organized to address these concerns. The TCC Fly-In is an ideal opportunity for you to join your construction industry allies to deliver your company hard hat to your Congressional delegation highlighting the number of jobs your company provides that will be impacted by the Highway Trust Fund insolvency.  A “Rally for Roads” will be held on the Washington Mall to get attention from the media about the highway funding dilemma. In conjunction with the TCC Fly-In, AGC has scheduled meetings with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) modal agencies including the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration and Federal Railroad Administration. Register today to participate in the AGC/DOT meetings and TCC Fly-In. For more information, please contact Brian Deery at (703) 837-5319 or deeryb@agc.org
