The Transportation Construction Coalition, of which AGC is co-chair, sponsored a transportation event today on Capitol Hill.  The event focused on the nation's infrastructure needs, the current reauthorization debate and how to finance the system of the future, and included a conversation about some of the environmental issues surrounding the transportation program. The event was presented by National Journal and featured transportation reporter Lisa Caruso, as well as Jack Schenendorf, vice chairman for the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission.  Sen. Tom Carper addressed the group and called for immediately raising the gas tax as a way to stimulate new job creation. Watch it here.
