ARTBA CEO Dave Bauer’s Statement on U.S. DOT Memo Rescinding Biden Funding Priorities

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

“The cornerstone of the federal-state partnership that began with the creation of the Interstate Highway System is the autonomy of state and local leaders to make project selection decisions consistent with national objectives. We commend Secretary Duffy and President Trump for affirming today this long-standing foundation of the federal-aid highway program and removing any doubt about the authority of states to use highway formula funds in a manner that best meets their unique needs.”
