NATIONAL CALL-TO-ACTION - Highway Bill Update
July 26, 2005

Top-level conferees and their staff met until late last night. Negotiations on the final version of the highway bill were stalled by disagreements over job protection measures for transit workers.

The conferees ended last night’s meeting before debating the fuel surcharge legislation and a few other unresolved provisions.

If your lawmaker is a member of the highway bill conference committee, please call him or her today! Let committee members know that truckers from your state and across the country are counting on them to support the fuel surcharge legislation. Tell them that hardworking Americans are counting on them to include the fuel surcharge legislation in the final version of the highway bill.

You can reach any lawmaker via the Capitol Switchboard at (202)224-3121.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Association at 1-800-444-5791.
