Hot Topic: Federal Transportation Bill Reauthorization
On September 30, 2009, the nation's core surface transportation programs expired. Ever since, the federal highway program has been operating on a temporary basis with a series of stop-gap transportation funding provisions at reduced levels. NAPA, CalAPA and other construction industry representatives are urging action on a comprehensive, long-term federal surface transportation act. Click on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or NAPA links below to help.
California state government began its new fiscal year July 1, 2011 with an approved budget, the first time that has happened in many years. However, some of the revenue projections may be overly optimistic and could imperil transportation funding. Contact your elected official to let them know how important transportation funding is to the economy and our quality of life. A helpful publication to use in this conversation is the "Jobs in the Asphalt Industry" white paper produced by the CalAPA-supported Asphalt Alliance. Click HERE to download it.
