Letter from Organizations in Support of Returning the Highway Trust Fund to a State of Solvency:

Dear Member of Congress,

The undersigned organizations, representing manufacturers and businesses in all 50 states, urge Congress to take the necessary measures to return the Highway Trust Fund to a state of solvency.

Manufacturers need stable and reliable infrastructure to both thrive and compete in today’s global economy. Unfortunately, the nation’s infrastructure is out of date and resting on a legacy built by previous generations. To compete in the 21st-century economy, we have to invest in and modernize our infrastructure with an eye toward economic growth, jobs and increased competitiveness. Congress must fix the Highway Trust Fund without delay.

Manufacturers have been integral to building our nation’s transportation networks and systems at every step of the way. Each dollar spent in construction generates nearly 40 cents of manufacturing activity which in turn, creates jobs and economic opportunity for millions of Americans.

A work stoppage at over 100,000 road, bridge and transit construction sites, which support 700,000 jobs, would be devastating. Congress must address this issue before adjourning for the August recess.

Manufacturers need Congress to achieve bipartisan solutions that will put us back to work improving our transportation network. We urge you to return the Highway Trust Fund to a state of solvency as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
