Transportation Day at the Capitol

Transportation Day at the Capitol

 REGISTER HERE

Our annual Capitol Day will be held on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 starting at 9:00 a.m. through lunchtime at the State Capitol.  Participation in this day of advocacy is critical to the outcome of state transportation funding and policy agendas.  It includes morning remarks from State Senate and House leadership, the Governor’s office and top transportation officials. Following the morning briefings will be one-on-one legislative visits and a luncheon for TRUST members and legislators. This is a time where all transportation interests collectively join to create a strong show of support for transportation funding and promotes our 2010 legislative agenda.
