Ask Your Representative to Support Bipartisan House Transportation Funding Letter

www.HardhatsforHighways.org With gas taxes making news in Washington this week, now is a great time to contact your representative and ask them to sign on to a bipartisan letter in support of needed transportation funding currently being circulated in the House. The letter, authored by Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Members Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) and Dan Lipinksi (D-Ill.), along with Ways & Means Committee Members Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), seeks to build momentum and send a message to Republican and Democrat House leaders that passing a multiyear transportation reauthorization bill with a sustainable funding source is a high priority going into the 114th Congress.  The letter calls for an end to the cycle of short-term extensions of transportation funding. It is supported by a wide variety of stakeholders, all of whom are encouraging all members of the House to sign on. AGC is working closely with Representatives Ribble, Lipinski, Reed and Pascrell, while leading the efforts of the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) in asking all members of the House to sign the letter. We encourage all AGC chapters and members to contact their representative and urge them to sign on through our Hardhats for Highways campaign.
