Editor’s Note: Champions of Change is a weekly initiative to highlight Americans who are making an impact in their communities and help our country rise to the many challenges of the 21st century.
Recently I was honored to join the “Champions of Change” discussion at the White House during National Transportation Week. We were asked to focus on transportation workforce issues, a very timely topic, and I am pleased to have this opportunity to provide further thoughts.
I am proud to be part of the transportation construction industry because we put people to work, improve the nation’s quality of life and enable our economy to be more competitive.
Several participants in the White House meeting mentioned the importance of reauthorizing the federal surface transportation and aviation programs. If we really want to put Americans to work, there is no better way than by passing long-term, well-funded versions of these important measures. The long-term certainty of federal transportation investment will give the industry a much clearer view of our future market opportunities. That will enable us to make additional investments in human capital, as well as equipment and supplies that will put even more Americans to work.
