AGC Calls on Congress to Repeal FY 2020 Highway Funding Cut

On Nov. 14, AGC joined transportation stakeholders in urging Congress to repeal a $7.6 billion cut to federal highway funding, known as a “rescission,” scheduled for July 1, 2020. The rescission—required by the FAST Act—affects all 50 states and the District of Columbia (specific impacts by state here) by limiting local flexibility and possibly hindering the ability to plan and carry out critical projects. Specific information on the impact to individual states is needed to bolster the case for corrective legislative action. To that end, AGC is requesting that AGC chapters and members please share any information regarding the short- and long-term impacts of the rescission on individual states with AGC’s Murphie Barrett.
