Arlington, VA – The National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) joined other associations in a letter to House and Senate leaders urging Congress to pass a surface transportation reauthorization bill before the September 30, 2020 deadline.
“We urge Congress to pass a surface transportation bill that gets Americans back to work. A 21st century infrastructure system will not only provide jobs but lay the foundation for a more competitive economy,” said NWRA President Darrel Smith. “Apart from the waste and recycling industry and the U.S. Postal Service, one would be hard pressed to name another industry that travels every road in America at least once a week every week.”
