Campaign for Federal Highway and Transportation Bill Launches in Iowa

AGC, as part of the Transportation Construction Coalition and Americans for Transportation Mobility, pushed for passage of the long-delayed highway and transportation bill Wednesday in Des Moines. The groups began a new national advertising campaign to push for federal funds to fix aging roads and unsafe bridges and improve transit services in August, and unveiled new bus, radio and print advertisements in Des Moines.  The effort, which will cover dozens of states during the coming weeks, is designed to educate the public about why passing a federal transportation bill is essential to improving road conditions in states like Iowa. AGC has hosted events in South Dakota and South Carolina as well. Read the press release here. The news was covered by the Des Moines Register, as well as local television and radio stations.
