Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-In May 25-26, 2010

While Congress has passed legislation to keep the highway and transit programs operating through the end of the year and provided funds to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent through the first quarter of 2011, much work still needs to be done. Senators and representatives need to understand the importance to your state's transportation program, jobs and long term investment of enacting long-term well-funded highway and transit reauthorization legislation. The Transportation Construction Coalition has scheduled a Washington Fly-in for May 25-26, 2010 at the Capitol Hill Hyatt Regency to deliver the message: "Transportation Creates Jobs While Building the Future." The Fly-in starts on May 25 with an AGC caucus at 11:00 am followed by a legislative briefing at 2:30 pm. CNN political commentator William Schneider will join key Congressional leaders in discussing the politics of getting the highway and transit bill passed. Schneider will also discuss the broad political landscape and upcoming elections. More information, including registration and hotel reservations, is available here.  http://www.agc.org/galleries/events/AGC_DCFly10HI_2.pdf
