On April 7, 2020, on the occasion of the crisis caused by COVID-19, IBBTA sent a letter to Congress to report on the situation of the pandemic in the infrastructure sector.
The letter was addressed to:
- The Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker, United States House of Representatives
- The Honorable Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader, United States Senate
- The Honorable Kevin McCarthy, Republican Leader, United States House of Representatives
- The Honorable Charles E. Schumer, Democratic Leader, United States Senate
These are extremely challenging times for all Americans. Congress’s vision in stepping in to provide direct cash payments to individuals and support large sectors of the American economy through flexible federal funding are vital to ensuring that we emerge from this pandemic as strong as we can be. We now ask Congress to take the additional step of helping the tolling industry which provides essential mobility to millions of passenger and commercial vehicles every day.
