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.

Famous quotes containing the word legal:
“In ‘70 he married again, and I having, voluntarily, assumed the legal guilt of breaking my marriage contract, do cheerfully accept the legal penalty—a life of celibacy—bringing no charge against him who was my husband, save that he was not much better than the average man.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
