ARTBA: Make Infrastructure Investment the Catalyst Of Economic Recovery
The American Road & Transport Builders Association (ARTBA) announced this morning that “a coalition of 31 national construction associations and labor unions has launched an advertising and grassroots campaign designed to encourage Congress to make new infrastructure investments as the major catalyst for economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19. The primary message of the campaign by the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) is that reopening, renewing and revitalizing the economy starts with passage of a robust, multi-year transportation bill that creates jobs and keeps goods and services like medical supplies quickly moving to their destinations — now and for decades to come.” ARTBA said the multimedia effort is directed at members of Congress — in particular, the four leaders of the House and Senate — and their staffs.
