The Transportation Division held their Capitol Hill Day on Wednesday, March 6. Following a morning advocacy training session conducted by NSC staff, Division members met as a group with House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Staff Director, Jim Tymon. Tymon discussed the committee’s priorities in the new Congress and took questions from the group regarding an array of transportation safety issues.  

In the afternoon, Division members met with their own members of Congress and their staff to discuss the need to fully fund the graduated driver licensing and distracted driving incentive grant programs in the upcoming continuing resolution. They also discussed Council priorities in the next highway bill that Congress will take up next year.
