America’s transportation system is the backbone of our economy, and the decisions Congress makes in the coming months will determine whether goods and services can continue to move on time, safely, and efficiently. Critical infrastructure funding is set to expire in September, and while House and Senate committees are moving toward early action, history tells us that delays are likely.  

In 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provided a once-in-a-generation investment in the nation’s infrastructure. Equipment manufacturers across the country applauded the passage of this monumental legislation, and we continue to see the great results it has brought our industry. Its scope and funding levels were unprecedented, and its impact is still being felt across the country as long-overdue projects move from planning to pavement.
