ARTBA’s first in-person Federal Issues Program (FIP) and Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) Fly-In since 2019 opens in our Nation’s Capital with an optional Sunday afternoon Washington Nationals baseball game (pre-registration required) and evening reception.

Two key panels are on the May 16 agenda:

• ‘Impacts of Economic Disruptors on the U.S. Transportation Infrastructure Market’ features David Wilcox, director of U.S. economic research at Bloomberg Economics and senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Dr. Alison Premo Black, ARTBA’s senior vice president and chief economist.
• ‘Putting Policy into Practice – Implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’ features Katie Thomson, the U.S. Department of Transportation director for the law’s implementation; South Carolina DOT Deputy Director of Engineering Leland Colvin, District of Columbia Department of Transportation Deputy Chief Officer Amanda Stout; and Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Jim Ports.

Political prognosticator Charlie Cook will address the TCC legislative briefing on this year’s election cycle. Other speakers are still being confirmed. Check the event website, where you can register and see more details.
