Top Priorities
Modernizing the U.S. surface transportation network is our priority. This means securing annual highway and public transit funding levels as authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. We also advocate for passage of a multi-year reauthorization of federal aviation programs that includes a significant increase in funding for airport construction and for biannual maritime construction legislation.
