Bridge Policy & Promotion Council
Created by the ARTBA Board of Directors in 2008, the Bridge Policy & Promotion Council (BPPC) is an advocacy group focused on significantly growing public and private investment in the bridge market and ensuring a strong private sector voice in federal bridge policy and regulatory matters. The BPPC also provides a forum and networking platform for owners, designers, builders, suppliers and researchers.
The BPPC is chaired by Bob Luffy, president and chief executive officer of Coraopolis, Pa.-based American Bridge Company. Other stakeholders include principals from such companies as: FIGG Engineering Group, HNTB, CH2M HILL, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Vecellio Group, Inc., PKF-Mark III, Flatiron, Swank Associated Companies, Corman Construction, Granite Construction and many more.
The BPPC’s Action Agenda is led and supported by seven, member-driven “Action Teams” focused on specific missions designed to meet the business needs of the bridge design and construction industry. The Action Teams are:
- Bridge Policy & Regulations
- Bridge Market Promotion
- Bridge Financing Issues
- Bridge Inspection Issues
- Bridge Project Delivery Methods
- New Bridge Technologies; and
- The International Bridge Conference (liaison group)
Leadership and participation in the BPPC is open to all ARTBA members. The entire council meets twice a year. The meeting locations for 2010 are:
- International Bridge Conference, 06/06/10 - 06/09/10. Pittsburgh, PA.
