Clarity of purpose and teamwork. In life, business or sports, they are two important
ingredients to success. ARTBA had both during 2013, which help explain the results it
achieved on the transportation design and construction industry’s behalf.
With strong leadership from the association’s volunteer leaders and network of state
contractor affiliates, ARTBA played the critical leadership role in helping ensure
Congress passed legislation to fully fund the Highway Trust Fund supported investment
levels for FY 2013 as called for in MAP-21. We also successfully advocated for
congressional passage of the first waterway infrastructure investment legislation in years.
On the implementation of MAP-21, ARTBA’s “Trans2020 Task Force” created seven
separate member-led working groups that developed and submitted comprehensive
comments to U.S. DOT on performance management, bridge inspection, project
delivery, safety, public transportation, freight policy and P3s.
The Task Force also laid the groundwork for the 2104 scheduled reauthorization of MAP-21 with particular emphasis
on the need for a permanent, sustainable fix for the Highway Trust Fund. The “Transportation Makes America Work”
public affairs campaign was the vehicle for this effort. It included face-to-face meetings with members of Congress, roll
out of the first-ever grassroots advocacy app, paid advertising, testimony to House and Senate committees, coalition
support, Capitol Hill news conferences with lawmakers, the use of key consultants and development of a clearinghouse
to provide interested groups with information about how to pursue transportation funding initiatives.
Not to be overlooked were two key milestones in the Public-Private Partnerships (P3) arena.
First, ARTBA hosted its 25th
Annual National Conference on P3s in Transportation. No other industry group has
matched ARTBA’s legislative success in pushing P3 and innovative financing measures in the last five major federal
surface transportation laws. Second, ARTBA’s legal advocacy program earned a precedent-setting victory when the
Virginia Supreme Court rebuffed an effort challenging the commonwealth’s Public Private Transportation Act.
The Court agreed with ARTBA’s legal brief and allowed construction to move forward on a major infrastructure
improvement project.
This annual report provides many more details about ARTBA’s efforts on your behalf. Please take a few minutes to read
through it. And thanks to all of you for your continued support and leadership! We need you on the ARTBA team in
2014 to achieve passage of a new surface transportation bill that grows the construction market for the future!

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
Government Affairs: MAP-21
In the spring, ARTBA played a critical leadership role in helping ensure
Congress reversed course and passed legislation to fully fund the Highway
Trust Fund (HTF) supported investment levels for FY 2013, as called for in
MAP-21. The measure included $39.7 billion for highway improvements—
a $550 million increase over FY 2012; and $10.6 billion for public
transportation—a $100 million bump.
Trans2020 Task Force & MAP-21 Implementation
ARTBA and its volunteer leaders also devoted more time, energy and
intellectual firepower to the implementation of MAP-21 than any other
transportation construction group. The association’s “Trans2020 Task Force”
worked to influence the implementation of the new law, and began laying the
groundwork for the next reauthorization scheduled for 2014. The task force
created seven separate member-led working groups that developed
comprehensive comments to U.S. DOT on these topics: performance
management, bridge inspection, project delivery, safety, public transportation,
freight policy and P3s.
ABOVE: Appearing before a
Senate Environment & Public
Works Committee hearing in
September, ARTBA President
Pete Ruane highlighted the
importance of the federal-aid
highway program to state
governments. He called on
Congress to finish the job
started with MAP-21’s policy
and program reforms by
generating new revenue
streams to bolster the
Highway Trust Fund in the
long-term.

5. 2013 Annual Report | 5
“The root of the federal Highway Trust Fund’s
revenue challenge is not an antiquated gas tax or
alternative-fueled vehicles dominating the U.S.
automobile fleet or improved fuel economy, but a
more direct and obvious flaw: the federal motor fuels
tax and other highway user fees have not been
adjusted for 20 years”
—ARTBA said in April testimony submitted to the House Budget Committee
Highway Trust Fund Fix
The central thrust of the association’s government affairs program in 2013 was
on building awareness in Congress, with the news media, and transportation
design and construction professionals about the need to address the long-term
solvency of the Highway Trust Fund before MAP-21 expires in late 2014.
Those efforts included: face-to-face meetings with ARTBA members and their
congressional delegations during the May Transportation Construction
Coalition fly-in, paid advertising in Capitol Hill publications, participation in
news events with congressional leaders, presentation of testimony to House
and Senate committees, and the use of key consultants to support our case.

before the House Judiciary
Subcommittee about the
“Responsibly and
Professionally Invigorating
Development (RAPID) Act
of 2013,” ARTBA First Vice
Chairman and “Trans2020
Task Force” Co-Chair Nick
Ivanoff, Ammann & Whitney,
explained that reforming the
environmental review process
for transportation projects has
been a 15-year evolution and
that “lessons learned” from
the transportation
infrastructure arena, including
on MAP-21, could be a guide
for similar reforms in other
federal areas of responsibility.

6. 6 | 2013 Annual Report
“Transportation Makes America Work Campaign”
With a successful fundraising push led by Kiewit’s Scott Cassels and Lane Construction’s Bob Alger
and as the vehicle leading the push for increased highway, transit and ports and waterway
infrastructure, the award-winning “Transportation Makes America Work Campaign”:
Developed the industry’s first-ever mobile grassroots advocacy app (“TransCon Advocate”);
Conducted groundbreaking public opinion research to bring transportation investment issues
down to the kitchen table-level; Produced print ads to create awareness about the Highway
Trust Fund’s (HTF) financial crisis;
Water Infrastructure Investment Legislation
In addition to MAP-21, ARTBA on its own and in partnership with the Transportation
Construction Coalition worked to build support for the first federal water infrastructure investment
bill in years. The Senate overwhelmingly approved (83-14) the Water Resources Development Act
of 2013, a measure that authorizes projects carried out by the Army Corps of Engineers to build
and improve the nation’s ports and waterways. A similar House bill authorizing $10 billion in
port and water construction passed with strong bipartisan support (417-3) in late October.
A conference committee is working to resolve the differences between the two and bring a final
measure for consideration to the full Congress.

MARKET PROTECTION
Legal Advocacy Program: 20th
Anniversary
The year 2013 marked a major milestone in ARTBA’s legal advocacy program. It was the 20th
anniversary of the industry’s first-ever lawsuit challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) efforts to expand the transportation conformity provisions of the federal Clean Air
Act way beyond the letter of the law. The EPA plan would literally have placed almost every
community in the nation at potential risk of losing federal highway funds. Federal courts agreed
with ARTBA’s legal reasoning that EPA had overreached, and the agency backed down.
It would be the first in a long line of industry legal victories over the next two decades on a variety
of lawsuits aimed at preventing professional environmental groups from delaying transportation
improvements. In total, ARTBA’s engagement in environmental-based litigation has allowed more
than $50 billion in court challenged transportation projects to move forward.
In another environmental case, a federal court agreed with ARTBA in April and declined to expand
the definition of what is considered a “point source” under federal law in Ecological Rights
Foundation v. Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Pacific Bell Telephone Co. The ruling removed a
potential road block that could have needlessly delayed transportation improvements.

9. 2013 Annual Report | 9
“I would like to thank the American Road and Transportation
Builders Association for contributing to this success through the
submission of an amicus brief. The interest you showed in the legal
issues before the Court no doubt assisted the justices in their
consideration of the case. The ruling not only permits the Elizabeth
River Tunnels project to proceed, but lifts a dark cloud that was
hanging over Virginia’s P3 law generally.”
—Marina J. Liacouras, general counsel Elizabeth River Crossings OpCo. LLC, November 2013
Regulatory Actions
On the industry’s behalf, ARTBA battled a flurry of regulatory proposals and submitted comments
more than 25 times to federal regulatory agencies on such issues as:
MAP-21 implementation
P3s
Categorical Exclusions
Clean Water Act
Keystone XL Pipeline
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program
Hours of Service Regulations
P3 Precedent-Setting Legal Case
Also notable for 2013 was that ARTBA extended its legal activities into the Public-Private
Partnerships (P3) arena for the first time, and won an unqualified victory. The association
successfully challenged a state court decision to strike down Virginia’s Public Private Transportation
Act. In a legal brief, ARTBA said such action would deprive citizens of a “necessary tool to meet
a pressing public need” and potentially “undermine public-private partnership statutes in other
states.” The Virginia Supreme Court agreed and allowed construction on a major infrastructure
improvement project to proceed and preserved the state’s existing tolling methods.

10. 10 | 2013 Annual Report
PROVIDING INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP
Council of University Transportation Centers
Under contract, ARTBA continued to provide management support and revamped the website of
the Council of University Centers (CUTC), an organization of nearly 100 university-based
transportation research centers that conduct cutting-edge research into transportation
construction, management and policy issues, and help educate and train thousands of students
each year. ARTBA managed CUTC’s day-to-day activities, and many CUTC members are actively
involved leaders in ARTBA’s Research & Education Division.
ARTBA Awards Programs
Industry leaders from around the nation were recognized for their outstanding leadership as part of
ARTBA’s annual awards program, which included:
ARTBA Award
Established in 1960 and the association’s highest honor, the ARTBA Award recognizes individuals

25 Years of P3s
More than 250 industry executives, public agency officials, members
of Congress and their staff, and representatives from the Obama
Administration July 25-26 came together under one roof in the
Nation’s Capital at the milestone 25th
Annual ARTBA Public Private
Partnerships Conference to share information and best practices,
and explore policy opportunities for boosting private investment in
U.S. transportation infrastructure.
During, a special July 25 dinner at the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of American History, ARTBA recognized five “founders”
who were key players in creation of the annual P3 conference and
membership division in the late 1980s. Among them and their
company affiliation at that time:
Henry Schrader, URS Consultants (posthumously)
Bill Allen, Parsons Brinckerhoff
John Wight, HNTB
Ray Tillman, URS Consultants
Jack Kinstlinger, Kidde Consultants
The association presented a “Legacy Award” to honor one deserving individual for major,
career-long contributions to the P3 community: Bill Reinhardt, founder, editor and publisher of the
“Public Works Financing” newsletter.
Virtual Conference (www.virtualconference.org)
More than 500 federal, state, and local transportation officials along with private-sector
transportation construction professionals registered for the second annual “Local Transportation
Management Virtual Conference & Innovation Showcase (LōTrans™) featuring “Best Practices in
Roadway Work Zone Safety.” The event was hosted by ARTBA’s Transportation Officials Division
and the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse November 19-20.
There were 15 sessions on topics such as the driverless car and the impacts of other “smart” car
technologies on roadways, preventing work zone intrusions, work zone safety audits, and the new
OSHA work zone inspection directive. The Federal Highway Administration also hosted bonus
sessions on sustainable pavement and intelligent compaction, geosynthetic reinforced soils, and 3D
engineered models and construction.
