TCC Fly-In to focus on continuing federal infrastructure investment

The Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) aims to use its namesake Fly-In next month to ensure lawmakers know the importance of continued investments into surface transportation.

The TCC Fly-In is set for May 7-8 at the Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf.

“With a new presidential administration, more than 70 new members of Congress, and the reauthorization of highway and public transportation programs on the agenda, the transportation construction industry must engage Congress to ensure recent investments in roads, bridges and public transportation systems can continue,” according to the TCC website.

NAPA is a member of the TCC Executive Committee. There are nearly three dozen members of the coalition, including the co-chairs, American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), and Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America.

NAPA members will take part in a member-only briefing from NAPA’s government affairs team at 1:15 p.m. on May 7, followed by legislative programming from the TCC and a reception. May 8 will be dedicated to meetings on Capitol Hill.

The NAPA Government Affairs team can assist you with scheduling meetings and preparing talking points to help you get the most out of your Capitol Hill visits. Have questions or need assistance setting up meetings with Members of Congress? Contact NAPA Vice President for Government Affairs Nile Elam.

NAPA members may need REAL ID for flying this spring.

Travelers coming to Washington, D.C. in May for the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) Fly-In always have a trio of airport options for flying in, but beginning May 7 there may be only one option for identification to board commercial flights: a REAL ID.

After numerous delays in implementation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Authority (TSA) appear ready to begin enforcement of the REAL ID Act, which was passed by Congress in 2005. TSA released a final rule on Jan. 13 that clarifies phased enforcement of the rule at certain federal agencies through May 5, 2027, but did not mention any further extension.
