“Together, we can do great things,” is one of the stated values at my company, Zachry. The same could also be said as it relates to key ARTBA’s achievements on behalf of the U.S. transportation construction industry during 2016. Of course, none of these accomplishments could have been realized without the personal involvement of the association’s volunteer leaders and state contractor chapter affiliates. They included:

• Development of a comprehensive federal transportation tax reform/investment initiative for the next president and Congress—the BOLD Act—that would double federal surface transportation investment by 2026 by providing a sustainable, use-backed revenue stream that grows with the economy. Unanimously approved by the ARTBA Board in October, we continue to build awareness of the proposal with key audiences inside the D.C. Beltway.

• Launch by industry leaders of the ground breaking Safety Certification for Transportation Project Professionals™ program to boost worksite hazard awareness and risk management skills across the industry. The program, designed to meet the rigorous protocols for ANSI/ISO accreditation, is aimed at the thousands of industry professionals in positions of influence—from project conception through completion—to cause a decline in safety incidents.

• Continued growth and influence of the Transportation Investment Advocacy Center™ (TIAC) that supports our state chapters and business groups working to increase transportation funding at the state and local levels. In just four years, the TIAC has formed a 31-state grassroots advocacy network that was supported in 2016 by a national workshop, 15 studies and reports, four webinars and nearly 150 blog posts.

• Presenting the industry’s views to federal agencies or Congress 20 times on proposed regulations and issues relating to implementation of MAP-21 and the FAST Act.

• Providing a legal voice in several federal court cases that would impact the transportation infrastructure market and its firms.

• Conducting safety training for 5,000 industry workers.

• Hosting 18 conferences, workshops and other events for nearly 2,000 industry professionals that provided ARTBA’s unique, industry-spanning networking, business and professional development opportunities.

• Implementing the strategic game plan of the Industry Leader Development Council to more fully engage the next generation of leaders in ARTBA’s advocacy mission and providing a variety of forums for their continued professional development.

• Executing an integrated communications program that provided digital, video, social media and print coverage designed to keep you on top of key market information and the political, legal and regulatory developments that could impact it.

Please take a few minutes to read through this Annual Report to learn more about our collective success in 2016. Thank you for your continued membership and support of ARTBA!

True to its mission, ARTBA focused on a variety of government relations and policy initiatives to keep pressure on Congress for a permanent Highway Trust Fund fix and the U.S. Department of Transportation to fully implement the policy reforms in the 2012 MAP-21 and 2015 FAST Act surface transportation laws. Along the way, industry leaders also unveiled a major new innovative program to help develop the future U.S. transportation construction market.

Highway Trust Fund Letter

In the spring, House Highway & Transit Subcommittee Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Ranking Member Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) began building support from their colleagues for their joint letter urging the tax-writing Ways & Means (W&M) Committee to include a permanent Highway Trust Fund revenue plan in any tax reform legislation that might emerge. To support the Graves-Holmes effort, ARTBA and its state contractor chapter affiliates reached out to scores of congressional offices to secure signatures from individual lawmakers to demonstrate that broad, bipartisan support exists for a permanent trust fund fix. The letter was sent May 25 to the W&M Committee leadership with 130 signatures—74 Democrats and 56 Republicans.

Project 2019 Task Force

In January, ARTBA Chairman David Zachry initiated the “Project 2019” Task Force with this mission:

“To reach transportation infrastructure industry leadership consensus on the strategic legislative and regulatory issues that are most important to our members and to establish a direction for securing the desired changes to our market.”

Chaired by Martin Marietta’s Ward Nye and Caterpillar’s Rob Charter, the group met July 13 in Illinois, and focused on how to ensure sustainable and robust future funding for the federal highway and public transportation investment program. Members of the task force reviewed and discussed, in the context of the current political environment, all of the major use-based funding options that are—or could be—available to achieve these goals. In short, they charted a new direction.

The consensus built during the meeting led to the creation of the “Transportation Helps Everyone: Building Our Legacy & Destiny Act” (“The BOLD Act”)—a comprehensive federal transportation tax reform/investment initiative for the next President and Congress—that would double federal surface transportation investment by 2026 by providing a sustainable, use-backed revenue stream that grows with the economy.

The BOLD Act was unanimously approved by the ARTBA Board in early October, and the association’s volunteer leaders and staff used the last two months of the year to build awareness of the program with key audiences inside the D.C. beltway.

The Transportation Makes America Work (TMAW) Program, which is supported by voluntary contributions over and above member dues, featured a variety of activities aimed at building awareness of the nation’s infrastructure investment needs and protecting the transportation construction market from regulatory over-reach. Among them:

• Interstate 60th Anniversary Event: ARTBA, in partnership with the American Trucking Associations, hosted a June 29 lunch and panel session for more than 125 people at the National Press Club in Washington to mark the 60th anniversary of the law signed by President Eisenhower that began funding and construction of the Interstate Highway System. The focal point of discussion was modernizing and improving the Interstates to keep America moving and the U.S. economy growing. The event also offered a successful backdrop to highlight ARTBA’s continued push for a permanent Highway Trust Fund solution.

• 3rd Annual National Bridge Report: This unique report highlighted bridge conditions in all 50 states and generated hundreds of television, print, radio and online news stories throughout the entire year. This coverage fueled nearly 50,000 visits to the ARTBA website after the TODAY Show shared the story on its social media pages.

• Market Protection: Initiating legal action on several federal court cases, including OSHA’s silica proposal, an Illinois Disadvantaged Business Enterprise case involving a highway contractor’s standing, and EPA’s overreach on roadside ditches in the “Waters of the United States” case.

• Transportation Investment Advocacy Center™ (TIAC): The pioneering Center (www.transportationinvestment.org), which supports state chapters and the business groups working to increase transportation funding at the state and local levels, redesigned its website, and expanded its analytics and research activities. In just four years, the TIAC has formed a 31-state grassroots advocacy network that was supported in 2016 by a national workshop with 100 participants from 30 states, 16 studies and reports, five webinars and over 150 blog posts.

• Grassroots Technology: Continued investments in our digital grassroots advocacy platform—Phone2Action—that uses social media platforms to advance the industry’s legislative agenda with members of Congress.

• Coalition Building: Played a major leadership role and financially supported the agenda and policy goals of the ARTBA co-chaired Transportation Construction Coalition, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce-led Americans for Transportation Mobility (ATM) coalition, and The Road Information Program (TRIP).

Water Resources Development Act

In a “win” for the U.S. transportation construction industry and the culmination of many months of advocacy by ARTBA and its allies, the House and Senate in December completed action on legislation that authorizes over $10 billion in federal dollars for the Army Corps of Engineers to carry out dozens of water infrastructure-related projects.

The “Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act will allow 30 new major construction projects in 19 states to move forward. Eight more projects that have already been authorized will also receive additional funds for lock, dam, port and waterway projects.

Legal Advocacy

ARTBA’s efforts to protect the market extend to taking action in federal court when appropriate.

The association sued the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to block the agency’s new rule on exposure to crystalline silica. ARTBA argued the standard is too stringent and could divert significant resources—human and financial—away from activities aimed at mitigating, if not eliminating, documented, serious hazards to our workers health and safety such as runovers and backovers and work zone intrusions. The case will continue in 2017.

ARTBA also filed suit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers over the proposed “Waters of the United States” rule. It would expand federal jurisdiction to all wet areas, including roadside ditches, with the end result being project delays and increased costs. A federal court has stopped the rule from taking effect while the litigation is underway. This case will likely take years to resolve and require ongoing ARTBA legal involvement.

Regulatory Advocacy

ARTBA made sure the industry had an effective—and frequent—voice on a broad range of proposed regulations, and the continued implementation of 2012’s MAP-21 and 2015’s FAST Act.”

The association submitted comments to federal agencies or letters to Congress 20 times on these topics: • Ozone Standards• Disadvantaged Business Enterprise• Buy America• Local Hire Requirements• IRS Estate Valuation Rule• Greenhouse Gas Emissions• Nationwide Permitting• FHWA & FTA Streamlining Rule• EPA “Exceptional Events Rule”

Safety Certification for Transportation Project Professionals™”

Nearly 50,000 people die or are injured in and around U.S. transportation infrastructure construction projects each year, according to Federal Highway Administration data. The cost of these tragic incidences—to families and employers—is staggering. In 2016, industry leaders decided status quo safety performance was not enough. Through ARTBA’s Foundation, they brought together top safety professionals to develop a “next-level” initiative aimed at achieving this vision:

“To ensure the safety and well-being of construction workers, motorists, truck drivers, pedestrians and cyclists and their families by making transportation project sites worldwide zero-incident zones.”

The result was the October 2016 launch of the innovative “Safety Certification for Transportation Project Professionals™” (SCTPP) program, which has been designed to meet the rigorous protocols required for accreditation by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Certification-Related Web Portals

ARTBA Foundation staff also created two Internet-based programs to help build awareness and help prep industry professionals to take the certification exam.

First, a comprehensive certification website, www.puttingsafetyfirst.org, was launched to provide all of the relevant information about the program and how to take the certification exam.

Second, the new Online Learning Center features six courses (Traffic Control, Work Sites, Personal Protective Equipment, Hazard Control, Communication, and Environmental Conditions) that were designed to help professionals build their skill set and prepare those interested in taking the certification exam.

Providing Industry LeadershipThe SCTPP program goal: to significantly boost the hazard awareness and risk management skills of all transportation project professionals who are in positions of influence—from project inception through completion—to cause a decline in safety incidents.

Page 10: 2016 ARTBA Report

Transportation Investment Advocacy Center

To support the market-building efforts of our chapters and state and local transportation investment proponents as called for in the ARTBA strategic plan, the Transportation Investment Advocacy Center™ (www.transportationinvestment.org) continued to expand its operations.

In just four years, the TIAC has formed a 31-state grassroots advocacy network that was supported by a national workshop for 100 industry executives, 16 studies and reports including a comprehensive tracking of 360 state and local ballot initiatives, five webinars and more than 150 blog posts.

Council of University Transportation Centers

Under contract, ARTBA continued to provide management support to the Council of University Centers (CUTC), an organization of nearly 100 university-based transportation research centers that conduct cutting-edge research into transportation construction, management and policy issues, and help educate and train

thousands of students each year. ARTBA managed CUTC’s day-to-day activities, and many CUTC members are actively involved leaders in ARTBA’s Research & Education Division.

Women Leaders Council

The Women Leaders Council (WLC), chaired by Lisa Robert, RS&H executive vice president, implemented its strategic plan, with development of content for the ARTBA website, awards program, and webinars with industry women leaders. The council will be adding action items to its 2017 strategic plan, including the launch of a student video contest that will focus on promoting transportation design and construction careers to students.
