Event in Review:
TRAA's Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day
TRAA's fifth annual Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day was another huge success with over 23 states from across the country represented! Together members made real progress towards getting support for the National Move Over Law Resolution (H.Res.152), amending federal weights and measures regulations (23 U.S.C. 127), opposing CMV speed limiters, educating members on EVs, and more.

Collectively we had constituent meetings with over 65 Members of Congress and their staffers to discuss the industry and our needs. Plus, the group met with another 8 Members of Congress and professional staff on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committees for both the House and Senate.

The group also received a presentation from FHWA on ECD-7 Next Generation TIM: Technology for Saving Lives, a presentation by Collin Long with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), a presentation by Brad Roseberry with the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks (CABT), and a presentation by ​Dr. Scott Parr with the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Working cooperatively with safety groups and others in DC is essential to making progress on our issues.
Lastly, the event ended with a state association panel on Getting Paid Under Liability Insurance. Your membership and support in TRAA make this good work on behalf of the industry possible.
