Reauthorization Effort Focuses on Ohio

AGC is working with our construction industry and transportation allies in the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) and the Americans for Transportation Mobility (ATM), on a series of media events in Ohio on Thursday, April 14 to highlight the need for Congress to pass a multi-year transportation reauthorization bill. The events, which will be held in conjunction with the release of a new TRIP report on the cost of congestion in Ohio, will highlight how the state’s business community needs improved transportation connections to be competitive and to add jobs. Media events will be held at local business owners in Columbus and Cincinnati that will emphasize the importance of good transportation to the success of their businesses. In addition to the two media events, the coalition is launching a statewide advertising campaign highlighting the connection between good transportation networks and a healthy business community. The Ohio Contractors Association and TRIP will also hold related news events in Toledo and Cleveland, also on April 14. For more information, contact Brian Deery at (703) 837-5319 or deeryb@agc.org.
