ASA Urges Timely Enactment of the FY26 Highway and Public Transportation Funding

ASA, along with the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC), sent a letter to Congressional Leadership requesting the timely enactment of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 highway and public transportation funding, which at authorized levels is essential to renewing and rebuilding America’s transportation systems.

The Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) appreciates Congress’ commitment to providing authorized FY 2025 spending levels. As work begins later this year on reauthorizing surface transportation programs, the TCC urges Congress to continue the practice of fully funding these programs at previously authorized investment levels for FY 2026.

Per their letter, “the final year of the 2021 infrastructure law begins October 1 and both the House and Senate authorizing committees have already signaled plans to advance new legislation in the coming months. Passing a fully funded FY 2026 spending bill on time will give members of Congress the solid foundation they need to draft and move long-term road, bridge, and transit legislation before current programs expire next year.

Funding continuity is also critical for state departments of transportation and local public transportation agencies. It ensures they can keep more than 100,000 projects moving forward, enabling safety mobility, and economic improvements in nearly every community. It also allows businesses to continue to invest in the people and equipment necessary to build.”
