Transportation Builder

Transportation Builder (TB) is the official publication of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. The association has been publishing a magazine since 1923. As the only national publication specifically geared toward transportation development professionals, TB is the primary source of business, legislative and regulatory news critical to the success and future of the transportation design and construction industry.

Advertising in Transportation Builder® (TB) magazine not only gives you unmatched contact with the leaders in our industry, but also helps the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) continue to lobby for the issues directly affecting those who work on our highways, bridges, transit, airports, ports, and waterway systems.

What's At Stake

In 2009, the federal highway, bridge and transit programs must be reauthorized by the U.S. Congress and the President. The federal government is the source of nearly 50 percent of all public capital investments in transportation. This means there is a great deal at stake for every firm, agency or organization involved in transportation design and construction. The final investment levels in the next multi-year surface transportation bill will have a significant impact on your firm's future growth.

ARTBA is working hard to make sure that future is bright. ARTBA is the only industry group that has a comprehensive plan to significantly boost federal transportation investment, and "Transportation Builder" (TB) magazine is a crucial advocacy publication in helping advocate the industry's agenda for the next bill.

TB is a trusted and authoritative information resource on federal transportation development issues. TB's editorial focus is unique from other industry publications because it is the only one that provides in-depth coverage of federal transportation investment, policy, safety, economic, regulatory and legal issues-all of which impact the development of your market.

Advertise in "Transportation Builder"

Here's why you should invest your ad dollars in TB:

Because TB reaches the key decision makers-the chief executive officers, presidents, vice presidents and other top executives of virtually every firm involved in designing and building America's highway, bridge, public transit, airport, water and rail networks.

Because TB is read by thousands of federal, state, and local transportation officials who have the authority to purchase your company's products. In particular, TB's annual transportation and highway work zone safety section provides a unique opportunity to reach public officials with information about your company's services.

Your company would be playing a leadership role in supporting its national association-the only group that is focused exclusively on growing and protecting your market!

TB has long been a valued and trusted information source for its readers. ARTBA has been publishing a member magazine since 1923.
