This year’s event will likely center around the incoming administration's plan for a $1 trillion funding package to modernize our nation’s transportation and infrastructure system. During last week’s Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee confirmation hearing for Transportation Secretary-designee Elaine Chao, Ms. Chao pledged to collaborate with Congress to seek every funding option possible to shore up the Highway Trust Fund’s looming deficit. NRMCA is committed to working with the incoming administration and Secretary-designee Chao – once confirmed – to help find a solution to this problem.

 

We will also host our next NRMCA Quarterly DC Days on Wednesday, May 18, in conjunction with the TCC Fly-In. NRMCA’s Quarterly DC Days is an opportunity for you to come to your nation’s capital to meet with your congressional representatives and their staffs to talk about important issues impacting the ready mixed concrete industry. This event will focus specifically on the $1 trillion transportation and infrastructure package and its potential impact to the ready mixed concrete industry. More details regarding both events will soon follow.
