Transportation funding experts will come together to explore 2017 general election results and ballot measure campaigns during a free hour-long webinar on Nov. 9, hosted by ARTBA’s Transportation Investment Advocacy Center™ (TIAC). Speakers will provide a deep dive into the Nov. 7 election outcomes, including insight into congressional races as well as state and local ballot measure results, and overall transportation funding trends from recent years. Research into the reelection rates of lawmakers who supported and opposed a gas tax increase will also be explored.

 The free Nov. 9 webinar begins at 3 p.m., Eastern, but requires advance registration.

 The session will feature:

 Dave Bauer, senior vice president of government relations, ARTBA. Bauer will discuss the results of the 2017 General Election congressional races, and what they means for the transportation construction industry. Bauer will also share his insight on transportation funding developments on Capitol Hill.

 Carolyn Kramer, deputy director, ARTBA. Kramer will discuss the outcome of over 200 state, county and local transportation funding ballot measure results from 2017. She will also explore results from previous years and transportation funding trends.
