By now you have probably seen news that the Governor and Senate/Assembly Leadership have announced a transportation funding deal. As you know, at the direction of the CTA Infrastructure Taskforce and Highway Policy Committees, CTA has actively engaged the legislature and administration for the entire four years this deal has been in the making. While these mega-deals are never perfect and, in many instances business gets no concessions, we believe that this package is the best deal industry will possibly get and are lobbying for its passage.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is proud to announce Charles Endorf of Werner Enterprises as the winner of the 2017 International Driver Excellence Award (IDEA). Endorf has driven 5.5 million miles over 40 years with Werner.

A public listening session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 4, 2017, to receive input on how to improve the region's transportation planning process.
