Join transportation leaders, innovators, and builders at the 2024 VTCA Spring Transportation Construction Conference and Trade Show, the premier event for shaping the future of Virginia’s transportation infrastructure!  

VTCA is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Event and Communications Intern to join our team. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in event planning, communications, and association management within the transportation construction industry.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has proposed a rollback of the waiver on manufactured products used in federal-aid highway projects under Buy America requirements. This proposed rollback is expected to have a significant impact on federally funded construction projects.

Virginia’s highway use fee (HUF) is intended to close the gap between what the average gas-fueled vehicle pays in state gas tax and what is paid by fuel-efficient and electric vehicles, which consume less fuel and therefore pay less taxes. Revenue is deposited into the Commonwealth Transportation Fund to support transportation infrastructure.

FHWA proposes to modify existing regulations for the administration of engineering and design related service contracts to clarify how the regulations apply to recipients other than State Transportation Agencies (STAs) that are awarded FHWA-administered discretionary grants. The proposal includes technical amendments to improve the regulations.
