Since 1902, the American Road & Transportation Builders
Association’s (ARTBA) mission has been crystal clear: We
are a federation whose primary goal is to aggressively grow
and protect transportation infrastructure investment to
meet the public and business demand for safe and efficient
travel. ARTBA also provides programs and services
designed to give its members a global competitive edge.
On behalf of its 6,500 members from the public and private
sectors, ARTBA works to ensure its members’ views and
business concerns are addressed before Congress, the White
House, federal agencies, the courts, the general public and
news media.

Market Development
The number one reason why people
join ARTBA is simple. We deliver
results. Through direct lobbying, we
play to win versus playing not to lose.
That’s our value proposition… and
explains why industry firms and
organizations make ARTBA a key part
of their business strategy.
Since 1993, federal investment in
transportation construction programs
has increased nearly 60 percent more
compared to federal outlays for general
construction.
ARTBA consistently leads the charge
and frames the surface transportation
reauthorization debate on Capitol Hill.
It advocates for expanded investments
in highways, bridges, transit, airports,
rail, and ports and waterways to meet
the infrastructure challenges of today’s
global economy.
The association also continues to
push for a comprehensive 21st
century
national transportation strategy that
includes “Critical Commerce
Corridors,” to add the intermodal
capacity necessary to efficiently
facilitate the ever-growing movement
of goods. Such a network is critical to
future U.S. economic competitiveness,
and represents a significant
construction market development
opportunity.
5. www.artba.org 5
ARTBA relies heavily on its network of grassroots activists
from its state chapter affiliates and regional leadership teams
to help deliver the industry’s message on pending legislation
and proposed regulations to Congress, the President and
federal agencies. ARTBA’s expert staff provides on-site
grassroots training for industry firms and organizations.
The association also invests in mobile technology to help
deliver its messages through the TransConAdvocateTM
app.
The association is a long-time leader in developing
coalitions to advance the industry’s agenda on Capitol Hill,
including the Transportation Construction Coalition, which
ARTBA founded and co-chairs; and as vice chair of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce-led Americans for Transportation
Mobility.
ARTBA also works with the Better Roads &
Transportation Council of America, America’s
Infrastructure Alliance, National Transportation Coalition,
Energy Equipment & Infrastructure Alliance, Small
Business Legislative Council, and The Road Information
Program, among others.
Grassroots & Coalitions
6. 6 American Road & Transportation Builders Association
From the halls of Congress to the halls of justice, ARTBA regularly takes action
to defend transportation construction industry market interests when threatened
by dubious regulation or litigation.
For more than 20 years, ARTBA has been the industry’s primary environmental
litigation advocate. The result of these efforts: more than $52 billion in approved,
yet challenged, U.S. transportation projects and plans have moved forward.
ARTBA regularly represents the industry’s views before federal regulatory
agencies. The association submits comments more than 30 times annually on
proposed clean air and water, wetlands, fuel standards, storm water, silica, hours
of service and roadway work zone safety regulations.
