(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Please attribute the following statement to American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President and CEO Dave Bauer:

“The Highway Trust Fund revenue package put forward by Chairman Graves would begin an overdue conversation and bring fresh ideas to a problem that has been avoided for too long.

“After $275 billion in general fund transfers over the last 17 years, the time for action is now, and we commend Chairman Graves for his leadership.”
