TRAA's 7th annual Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day was another huge success with over 27 states from across the country represented! Together members made real progress advocating for the Preventing Roadside Deaths Act, electric vehicle (EV) policies that include towers, weights and measures amendments, and more.

Collectively we had constituent meetings with 112 Members of Congress and their staffers to discuss the industry and our needs. Plus, the group met with another 8 Members of Congress on key committees for our industry including:

• Congresswoman Laura Gillen: Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
• Congressman Jared Golden: Member of the House Small Business Committee.
• Congressman Kevin Kiley: Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management.
• Congressman Jim McGovern: Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules.
• Congressman Pat Ryan: Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
• Congressman Greg Stanton: Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
• Congressman Dave Taylor: Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.
• Congresswoman Dina Titus: Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management.

Additionally, the group met with Adrienne Camire, FMCSA Senior Advisor to the Administrator and Matt Schuck, FMCSA Director of Communications and Senior Governmental Affairs Officer to discuss the new administration’s position on EVs and roadway safety. Attendees also discussed Congressman Kiley's CRA to halt state "Advanced Clean Trucks" (ACT) regulations.

Your membership and support in TRAA make this good work possible on behalf of the industry.
