The following statement is attributed to American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President and CEO Dave Bauer: 

“The strong bipartisan spirit demonstrated in the Senate approval of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act sets the bar high.

“The U.S. economy and transportation system users stand to benefit most from enactment of an infrastructure bill that combines historic investment levels with pragmatic policy reforms.
