The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provided a much-needed boost in federal funding to facilitate modernization of the multi-modal U.S. transportation network. ARTBA’s Highway Dashboard details how the IIJA has supported more than 80,000 new highway and bridge projects nationwide through August 31, 2024.
However, while the infrastructure law’s investments are helping enable mobility and safety improvements, numerous federal agencies have advanced new and expanded federal regulations and policies. Many have the potential to adversely impact the industry’s efforts to deliver projects safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
The regulatory environment should seek to achieve the same objectives as transportation investments themselves—to help move people and products in the safest and most efficient manner possible. Accordingly, the following policy areas represent ARTBA’s priorities for regulatory improvements in the coming presidential administration. The ARTBA team is available to provide additional details as needed.
