American Road and Transportation Builders Association

American Road And Transportation Builders Association

Established in 1902, the Washington, D.C.-based American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) advocates strong investment in transportation infrastructure to meet public demand for a safe and efficient business transportation network.

The association has more than 5,000 members from the public and private sectors. The U.S. transportation construction industry that ARTBA represents generates more than $200,000 million in annual economic activity and sustains 2.5 million American jobs. ARTBA membership divisions include: contractors, planning & design, transportation officials, traffic safety, materials & services, public-private partnerships, research & education, and equipment manufacturers. ARTBA’s members have extensive knowledge and experience in building the road, rail, air, port and waterway facilities of the United States. Since 1902, the association’s unique federation structure and outstanding track record have had no parallel in the U.S. construction industry.

With the next highway/transit investment bill in Congress, ARTBA is proposing a new vision and mission for the future of the nation’s federal surface transportation programs. The association’s “Critical Commerce Corridors” goods movement program—aimed at adding new intermodal capacity to handle the expected doubling of truck traffic over the next 20 years—offers the largest transportation construction market opportunity in a generation. The “Transportation Makes America Work!” campaign is helping build political support for ARTBA’s legislative proposals.
