Legal & Regulatory Advocacy
ARTBA aggressively takes action to defend transportation construction industry market interests when threatened by dubious regulation or litigation. ARTBA’s legal advocacy has allowed nearly $50 billion in approved, yet challenged, U.S. transportation projects and plans to move forward. In 2009, the association expanded its market protection activities for the future with the creation of the Transportation Development Legal Advocacy & Education Center.
ARTBA also actively represents the industry’s views before federal regulatory agencies, regularly submitting comments on issues like clean air and water, wetlands, stormwater, greenhouse gas emissions and work zone safety.
