Q. How does participation in the surveys help me? How does it help ARTBA?

A. These surveys are absolutely critical to ARTBA’s core mission: to advocate strong federal investment in transportation infrastructure and to help grow the transportation construction market. The results from both surveys help us see what is really going on in the market place. The survey results also help us promote workforce development – schools throughout the country receive copies of the salary survey results, which show some of the good paying jobs that are available in our industry.

From your perspective, the quarterly survey results will provide you with a general picture of the transportation construction industry throughout the country. You can compare your situation to what is going on nationwide. The salary survey results will give you a benchmark to compare your wages, salaries and benefits with other companies your size.

Q. Can I get results for just my state?

A. At this time we do not offer state specific information for the quarterly market survey. However, as the number of participants continues to grow, we will offer results broken down on a regional basis.

Participants in the salary survey can purchase regional results for $125, which is a discount of 50 percent from the full price.

Q. Is it safe to fill out the online version of the Quarterly Transportation Construction Market Conditions Survey?

A. Yes – your information is safe — your answers are never shared with a third party. They are only viewed by ARTBA’s economic team to compile the aggregate results.
