On December 4, 2020, NAPA’s President and CEO, Dr. Audrey Copeland, sent a letter to President-elect Joseph Biden and his transition team outlining key priorities for the organization and its members. Dr. Copeland noted in the letter the desire to work together with the incoming administration to stabilize the economy, create and sustain jobs in the highway construction industry, and build environmentally friendly, resilient pavements. The letter includes NAPA’s legislative priorities, chief among them, passage of a long-term surface transportation authorization bill that increases highway funding and includes a permanent, dedicated, user-based revenue stream for the Highway Trust Fund. The letter also emphasizes the fact that asphalt is America’s most recycled product. “There are many paths for NAPA to work in partnership with the Biden administration,” Dr. Copeland said, “and the letter provides the road map for partnership during the 117th Session of Congress.” The letter is available to NAPA members by clicking here or contacting NAPA’s Executive Vice President – Advocacy, Jay Hansen at jhansen@asphaltpavement.org.
