RoadPAC - For Your Future
RoadPAC, the political action committee
of the Alabama Road Builders Association, has long been
the transportation contractors vehicle for getting involved in
Alabama’s legislative process. By participating in the legislative
elections every four years, RoadPAC can speak as an industry
and accomplish more than any one company on its own. We have been
a strong voice in Alabama’s Statehouse for many years, and
plan to continue that level of representation — but we need
your help. In order for RoadPAC to continue to grow and
prosper, we need active and visible involvement from every Contractor
and Associate member of the Alabama Road Builders Association.
By getting involved with an annual contribution, we can promote
the highway transportation construction industry to its highest
level. The time is right to become active in encouraging the health
of your industry.
Proof of RoadPAC’s Success
By supporting Alabama’s Senators and Representatives that
have expressed a clear understanding of the importance of our
industry, RoadPAC and the Alabama Road Builders Association
have:
- Consistently defeated legislation that would
have diverted gas tax revenues for uses other than for construction,
maintenance and repair of Alabama’s roads and bridges.
- Defeated legislation that would have taken more than $100
million from the DOT budget and shifted it for use by Alabama’s
67 counties.
- Passed the Alabama Work Zone Safety Act to double speeding
fines in construction zones.
- Worked to defeat legislation that would have taxed aggregate
producers on the transportation of their product within certain
counties in Alabama.
Transportation Construction is YOUR Business
RoadPAC wants to assist you with the very thing that
is most important to you and your company — your relationship
with the Alabama Department of Transportation and the Alabama
Legislature, which understand the vital role our industry plays
in the development and success of our state. By participating
in Legislative races across Alabama, RoadPAC assures
ARBA members that they will have representation throughout
the entire state, not just the area where their company
is located. The voice of many can always be heard over the voice
of one. Join the Alabama Road Builders Association and
become a contributing member, so your voice can be heard through
RoadPAC.
