With your Senators and Representatives working in their home states this week, it is the perfect opportunity to get involved in the Hardhats for Highways campaign.
Contact your members of Congress today to set up meetings with each office and educate them on the connection between local jobs and federal highway and transit investment. Your elected representatives may not need a thorough education about the issue, but they do need to know that their constituents care about it.
Get information about the connection between infrastructure construction and federal funding and the economy at the Transportation Construction Coalition's HardhatsForHighways.org.
Hardhats for Highways has already distributed more than 4,000 hardhat decals to companies in the construction industry.
To request decals, send an e-Hardhat letter to your members of Congress, and gather information for your district meetings next week at www.hardhatsforhighways.org
