WASHINGTON, D.C. – Associated General Contractors of America have organized a broad coalition of more than 60 national organizations to urge House leadership to promptly consider and advance the BUILD America 250 Act.

The coalition letter, drafted and coordinated by AGC, was sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It reflects support from a diverse group of stakeholders representing transportation agencies, contractors, manufacturers, freight carriers, local governments, engineers, agricultural interests and businesses that rely on a strong transportation network.

The letter emphasizes the importance of passing a long-term transportation bill before the current law expires on Sept. 30. Coalition members noted that predictable federal investment provides the certainty needed for states, local governments, and private-sector partners to plan and deliver infrastructure projects efficiently while avoiding unnecessary delays and rising costs.

The breadth of organizations joining the effort highlights the wide-ranging impact transportation investment has across the American economy. Among those joining AGC were the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials, American Trucking Associations, the American Society of Civil Engineers, National Association of Counties, National League of Cities, American Road & Transportation Builders Association, National Asphalt Pavement Association, National Utility Contractors Association, Associated Equipment Distributors and dozens of other national organizations.

AGC encourages members to complete the Action Alert which tells Congress that reliable transportation investment is essential to economic growth, mobility and America’s competitiveness.
