This week, AGC of America met with the transition team at the Department of Transportation to discuss AGC’s priorities for the Trump administration. AGC discussed challenges with the recently implemented Disadvantaged Business Enterprise rule and ongoing challenges with Buy America requirements. Additionally, AGC discussed worker shortages and regulatory overreach that undermines the industry’s ability to build infrastructure.
In addition, AGC CEO Jeff Shoaf held a meeting with Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.). This committee has jurisdiction over the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Highway Administration. During the meeting they discussed priorities for the next surface transportation reauthorization – including work zone safety and environmental review and permitting reform. Shoaf also stressed the need to protect contractors from PFAS Superfund liability.
