Building America’s Future (BAF) announced that former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood (R) will join the organization as a new co-chair. Serving alongside fellow co-chairs former New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell (D), the Honorable Ray LaHood will help lead BAF’s bipartisan coalition of current and former elected officials who are committed to raising awareness about the need to invest in our nation’s roads, bridges, airports, rails and ports. Together, the BAF co-chairs called on Washington to support critical transportation infrastructure investments and take action to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent.
Building America’s Future thanked Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for all of his contributions as a founding co-chair of the organization. Governor Schwarzenegger will continue to work with BAF in the future through the Schwarzenegger Institute at USC.
In its report "Falling Apart and Falling Behind", Building America’s Future lays out the economic challenges posed by our ailing transportation infrastructure, provides a comparative look at the smart investments being made by our international economic competitors, and offers recommendations for policymakers in Washington to reform, fund and finance the nation’s transportation policies.
