Tell Him/Her to Finish Work on Highway & Transit Bill
The Senate completed action on a six-year transportation reauthorization bill before the August recess. The House has indicated that it will work on its version of a long-term highway & transit bill when members return to Washington after Labor Day. With one week left in the August recess, it is important that you meet with your Congressman and stress the importance of passing a long-term, fully funded transportation bill.
Resources to help you schedule meetings can be found on the Hardhats for Highway “Meet with Congress” page. Please follow up your meetings with an email to your Congressman, reminding them to focus on passing a long-term highway & transit bill after the August recess. Encourage your employees & colleagues to send an email as well.
As part of our efforts to urge Congress to pass the bill, AGC of America has developed a video of contractors and construction workers calling on Congress to “stop kicking the can.” To help spread the message, please also email this video to your members of Congress and share through social media. It is important that all members of the House of Representatives hear from their constituents about the need to complete action on a six-year bill.
