Reporting Back from ACT's First-Ever Virtual Fly-In
On June 22 and 23, 40 ACT members came together for ACT's first-ever virtual fly-in. Over the two days, ACT’s government affairs team and our members held meetings with 17 Senate offices spanning both sides of the aisle, including Senators Baldwin (D-WI), Paul (R-KY), Merkley (D-OR), Warner (D-VA), Hagerty (R-TN), Moody (R-FL), Fetterman (D-PA), McCormick (R-PA), Warnock (D-GA), Kim (D-NJ), Cornyn (R-TX), Schatz (D-HI), Hickenlooper (D-CO), Kelly (D-AZ), Gallego (D-AZ), Padilla (D-CA), and Murray (D-WA).
With the Senate preparing to advance surface transportation reauthorization, ACT members arrived with timely expertise to prove why TDM is a critical piece of our transportation systems. The virtual format expanded accessibility by allowing members from across the country to participate without the cost and logistics of a trip to Washington. ACT thanks all of our participants and looks forward to building on this momentum as reauthorization moves forward.
