While the past year brought America difficult challenges, the light at the end of the tunnel grows brighter every day, thanks to the endurance and heroism of our frontline workers. When the pandemic first struck, the trucking and freight rail industries didn’t stand down. We rolled up our sleeves and worked together to keep the nation’s supply lines open and the critical goods that households and communities rely on moving.
Now we’re asking lawmakers to show the same cooperative spirit, cast aside divisions, and forge a path towards sustainable, user-funded infrastructure.
Although trucking and freight rail are competitors in many ways, we couldn’t be more aligned when it comes to the urgent need to invest in the improvement of our decaying public networks – namely highways and bridges. Collectively, our industries employ 9 million hard-working people who count on a reliable transportation network to make the deliveries that move our economy.
