Fact Sheet_BusinessDevelopment-Aug2016-FINAL
1. Business Development
Ann Warner LLC uses its knowledge and expertise
developed over three decades in Washington, DC to
identify and develop business opportunities for private
and public sector clients in the transportation and
infrastructure sectors.
Managing Partner, Ann Warner, identifies proposed
Federal legislation and pending regulations relevant to
clients’ current operations and business development
pursuits. Warner then provides recommendations on
how to best incorporate these Federal trends, decisions,
or actions into strategic planning, business development
efforts, and customer service needs.
Identifying and Acting on Legislative Opportunities
Warner has actively participated in the development of
Federal policy for numerous infrastructure programs
and services, including four surface transportation
laws authorizing Federal-Aid Highway (Mass Transit)
Programs; five laws reauthorizing Federal Aviation
Administration Programs; and, laws reauthorizing
the Water Resources Development Act, and Clean
Water and Safe Drinking Water Programs, Surface
Transportation Board reauthorization.
Warner is an expert in navigating the Federal legislative
and regulatory processes which provides the policies
and funding for programs (and specific projects)
benefiting her clients.
Once a legislative vehicle has been identified or
developed, Warner works with her clients to develop
and implement a strategy to include language
authorizing the project or program in an authorization
measure(s) and then funding the project or program in
an appropriation bill(s). Examples:
FAST Act: Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act
(P.L. 114-094)
For a coalition supporting increased capital funding for
transit program, Warner successfully advocated for the
highest-possible authorization for transit New Start/
Small Start/Core Capacity programs in the first long-
term surface transportation bill in a decade.
MAP-21: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
(P.L. 112-141)
Warner worked with other stakeholders to successfully
include a provision expanding Private Activity Bonds to
water projects (as included in the Senate-passed bill).
This language would have benefited her client, a U.S.
subsidiary of an international client, and its numerous
public sector water customers.
SAFETEA-LU: The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (P.L. 109-59)
On behalf of a corporate client, Warner developed,
advocated for, and mobilized industry support for a Public
Private Partnership (PPP) Pilot Program that encouraged
state and local mass transit New Start project sponsors
to utilize innovative project delivery approaches and/or
alternative financing options. This program benefited not
just Warner’s corporate client and its New Start customer,
but several other entities participated in this PPP Pilot
Program resulting in a greater acceptance and use of
alternative approaches throughout the country.
TEA-21: Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century
(P.L. 105-178)
Warner successfully helped to eliminate a provision
which would have undercut concrete pavement
competitiveness in the United States concrete pavement
market, on behalf of national trade association client.

2. ISTEA: Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
of 1991 (P.L. 102-240)
On behalf of an international trade association client,
Warner successfully advocated for expanded market
opportunities for publicly and privately-owned toll
authorities by securing a provision in ISTEA, allowing for
the first time, toll revenues to be combined with Federal
funds on certain Federally-funded highway and bridge
projects. Also, Warner successfully secured provisions
providing incentives for electronic toll and traffic
management development, which later helped serve as
a cornerstone for Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems
(IVHS) applications.
AIR-21: The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and
Reform Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 106-181)
For a national trade association client, Warner
successfully advocated for expanded market
opportunities for the concrete pavement industry. She
secured the first-ever Federal authorization for applied
airfield concrete pavement research in AIR-21.
FY 2001 and FY 2002 USDOT Appropriations (P.L. 106-
340) and (P.L. 107-87)
For a national trade association client, Warner secured
the first-ever Federal appropriation, $5 million, for
applied airfield concrete pavement research via a unique
cooperative agreement between the Federal Aviation
Administration and the concrete pavement industry in the
FY 2000 US DOT Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-340) and
subsequently helped obtained $5 million in funds in the FY
2001 US DOT Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-87).
Researching and Assessing Regulatory
Opportunities
Federal agencies draft rules and regulations to enact
legislation passed by the U.S. Congress or implement
Administration priorities. Ann Warner LLC provides
regulatory monitoring services for clients, and provides
research and analysis on an as-needed basis. Examples:
Monitoring and Reporting
For a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign-owned corporation,
Warner developed and managed a key issues documents
identifying Federal regulatory issues – including the
safe drinking water, clean water, energy/ alternative
energy, climate change, sustainable development, and
transportation sectors – for the client’s corporate strategic
planning, current operations, and marketing/business
development efforts.
Program Implementation
For public sector customers of a U.S.-owned
multinational corporation, Warner identified possible
market opportunities following the U.S. Department of
Transportation (USDOT) creation of the Corridors of the
Future Program in 2006 - a congestion mitigation initiative
to accelerate the development of multi-state transportation
corridors to help reduce congestion.
