On July 17th, AGC CEO Jeff Shoaf participated in a roundtable discussion with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy to discuss AGC’s priorities for surface transportation reauthorization. During the hour-long meeting, Secretary Duffy heard perspectives from various aspects of the transportation industry, including labor and state departments of transportation. You may recall, AGC has held similar meetings with congressional leaders and senior officials at DOT earlier this year.
During the meeting, AGC highlighted challenges with Buy America requirements, specifically surrounding the lack of transparency with the waiver process and how it leads to project delays. In addition, Shoaf highlighted the importance of work zone safety and the need for better enforcement of work zones through police presence and speed cameras.
