Launched in 1995 and now a model for other national associations, the Young Executive Development Program (YEDP) helps develop the next generation of industry leaders who will shape transportation policy for the future.

The YEDP is an intensive, three-day introduction to the federal legislative and regulatory processes that affect the industry in Washington.  It includes visits to Capitol Hill for meetings with members of Congress about important transportation development issues as part of the ARTBA Federal Issues Program and Transportation Construction  Coalition Fly-in.  YEDP fellows also have the opportunity to connect with their peers and earn nearly 20 professional development hours. 

More than 325 young executives from more than 160 firms, agencies and state contractor organizations, representing nearly all 50 states, have completed the program.  Several past participants also serve on the ARTBA Board of Directors, and many are involved in the Young Executive Leadership Council.

Volvo Road Machinery is a major YEDP sponsor.
