National Workshop for State & Local Transportation Advocates

July 13-14, The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C.

Registration is free for P3 Conference attendees.

The National Workshop for State & Local Transportation Advocates brings together allies from around the country to share best practices, playbook secrets and strategies to successfully advance state and local legislative and ballot initiatives that boost transportation investment.

Over $100 billion in new revenue has been dedicated to infrastructure improvements over the past 10 years because of the advocacy work initiated by the Center and its state and local partners.

This year’s event will address real-life challenges and success stories of funding campaigns.

Attendees will learn which states have raised or are trying to raise new transportation revenues, why they are doing so, what revenue streams they are exploring, who the major players are, and the resulting outcomes.
