ARTBA


Almost four dozen emerging leaders in the transportation design and construction industry completed an intensive introduction to federal legislative and regulatory issues May 13-15 during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Foundation's Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP).

The ILDP, held in conjunction with the association's Federal Issues Program and the Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-In, provided participants with a solid understanding of industry economics, how transportation work in the United States is funded and financed, how actions by the federal government impact the industry, and how they — and their company or agency — can become politically engaged.

ILDP attendees also met with their members of Congress to discuss ongoing implementation of the bipartisan infrastructure law.
