Why AGC Is Pushing Congress To Pass a Bill on Time
We all know the drill. Congress fails to pass a new highway and transit bill, delaying for months and years because of competing priorities and lack of inertia.
But every time Congress kicks the can down the road, members like you see fewer project lettings.
Not having a long-term bill in place prevents state and local transportation officials from making long-term plans. As a result, projects are delayed or broken into smaller phases, driving up costs and reducing efficiency. Contractors face gaps in work as new bids dry up, making it harder to retain skilled crews. And it becomes almost impossible to make the kind of investment in people and equipment you need to be successful.
That is why AGC of America is launching a new, nationwide campaign to get Congress to pass the bill with increased funding before the current law lapses on September 30, 2026.
We want to make sure you have the certainty needed to keep crews working, projects moving, and communities connected. And we want to ensure that critical infrastructure improvements are delivered on time and with the predictability the industry depends on.

How We’re Going To Win
Getting Congress to pass a new highway and transit bill on time will not be easy. Between spending fatigue and distractions of the midterm election, there is a real chance Congress will opt to kick the can. This is not a distant policy concern. It is a direct threat to your company’s projects, jobs, and long-term planning.
Through the Construction Advocacy Fund, AGC of America is launching a $2 million campaign with one clear objective: push Congress to pass the bill on time and provide more funding. AGC has successfully led efforts like this and understands what it takes to move lawmakers, shape the debate, and deliver results for the industry. We know what it takes to win, because we’ve done it before, and we are ready to do it again with your help.
The America’s Moving Forward campaign is built around a simple, results-driven plan designed to influence lawmakers before funding lapses.
