The Transportation Construction Coalition, representing 29 national transportation construction associations and unions, urges support for H.R. 933, which funds the MAP-21 Act for fiscal year 2013. MAP-21 provided much needed certainty for transportation programs after years of extensions by authorizing funding levels to keep pace with inflation. It also received strong bipartisan support. The Senate continuing resolution adheres to MAP-21's funding commitments, helping preserve jobs in the struggling construction industry and allowing MAP-21 an opportunity to deliver results as intended.
The infrastructure we have now, and the infrastructure we plan to build, will support and sustain us for decades to come. Our quality of life, and our success as an economy in the future, will depend on our infrastructure’s ability to respond to future challenges. This will rely on decisions taken now.

The 29 national associations and construction trade unions of the Transportation
Construction Coalition urge you to support H.R. 933, the Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriation Act of 2013. This measure, among other
things, fully adheres to the surface transportation investment commitments
Congress made when it overwhelmingly passed the Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act eight months ago.
MAP-21 ended nearly three years of temporary extensions and, in so doing,
sought to provide needed certainty for state departments of transportation and the
private sector. The two-year surface transportation program authorization
contained overdue reforms to make these federal highway and public
transportation programs more efficient and to maximize the impact of federal
investments.
MAP-21 also ensured the Highway Trust Fund has sufficient resources to support
the surface transportation investment levels that will simply keep pace with
inflation in FY 2013 and FY 2014. As a result of the measure’s self-sustaining
investment and revenue provisions and its common sense policy reforms, MAP21 earned substantial bipartisan support in both the House (373-52) and Senate
(74-19).
The bipartisan product from the Senate Appropriations Committee is to be
commended for following through on the investment commitments made by
MAP-21. The continuing resolution for the first six months of FY 2013 and the
House-passed measure for the remainder of the year would hold these programs
at the FY 2012 levels. By maintaining the purchasing power for federal highway
and public transportation investments, the Senate continuing resolution would
help preserve jobs in the construction industry that is still struggling with
unemployment levels nearly twice the national average.
While we acknowledge MAP-21 is a short-term solution to the nation’s long-term
infrastructure challenges, it is a step in the right direction and deserves a chance
to deliver results. As such, we urge you to support the Senate version of H.R.
933 and the full-funding of MAP-21 in FY 2013.
Sincerely,
The Transportation Construction Coalition
