Yesterday, Arcosa Aggregates President and NSSGA Second Vice Chair Cory Danner, Heidelberg Materials North America President and CEO Chris Ward and NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley met with @DOT @USDOTFHWA Administrator Sean McMaster to discuss why the aggregates industry needs a predictable, long-term surface transportation bill. We appreciate his continued focus on roads and bridges, which, as he pointed out, carry 91% of all travel in the United States. #RocksBuildAmerica

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor those who gave everything for a country we're proud to help build.

As a part of the Work Zone Safety Coalition, NSSGA signed on to a letter to the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee supporting the critical work zone safety policies in the Build America 250 Act, including the Highway Safety Improvement Program, the consolidation and enhancement of highway safety programs and the establishment of a roadway worker protection interagency working group.

Tomorrow @TransportGOP and @TransportDems are marking up the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act: critical legislation to help fund our nation’s roads and bridges. NSSGA and @American_Cement, @NAPATweets and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association urge members to pass this bill out of Committee without making changes that could negatively impact the delivery of construction materials for projects funded through this legislation: keep the current Buy America exemption for the construction material supply chain and the materials our member associations produce, and don’t make changes that will favor one construction material over another. Read the letter we sent here: https://t.co/LiVXEkCpOD #RocksBuildAmerica

Today, NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by the New Democrat Coalition (New Dems) to advocate for a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that delivers funding certainty for the aggregates industry. New Dems is comprised of 114 pragmatic House Democrats who work to bridge the partisan divide with a solutions-oriented approach to politics. #RocksBuildAmerica

America is home to 4 million+ miles of road, 48,700+ miles of interstate highways, and about 620,000 bridges. Let’s protect this infrastructure and everyone who depends on it. NSSGA and others from @TheTCC are on the Hill this week with the message: Congress – pass the next surface transportation reauthorization before funding runs out. #RocksBuildAmerica

[National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association @NSSGA]

Great to hear from @USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy and House T&I Ranking Member @RepRickLarsen at today’s @TheTCC legislative briefing. NSSGA looks forward to working with the Administration and Congress to pass a surface transportation reauthorization bill. #RocksBuildAmerica

[National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association @NSSGA]

As a member of @TheTCC, NSSGA is joining their efforts to help raise awareness about the importance of passing a timely, robust transportation bill. Investment in roads, bridges and transit systems is an investment in safety, affordability and opportunity. Congress, don’t let infrastructure fall through the cracks. Deliver the next surface transportation reauthorization today. #RocksBuildAmerica

[National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association @NSSGA]

We all count on roads and bridges to get us home safely. That’s why NSSGA and other members of @TheTCC are counting on lawmakers to invest in the infrastructure our country relies on. Join us in calling on Congress to reauthorize America’s surface transportation programs. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA is pleased to see this legislation move forward with the strong inclusion of "Rocks on Crops" language. #RocksBuildAmerica

[National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association @NSSGA]

NSSGA appreciates the House taking up the 2026 Farm Bill—now let’s get it done. Farmers and rural communities need certainty, and the inclusion of "Rocks on Crops" makes this legislation stronger. NSSGA appreciates the inclusion of enhanced rock weathering practices that support agricultural benefits, atmospheric sequestration and resource conservation. #RocksBuildAmerica

Earth Day is a great reminder, but caring for the land is part of the job every day. The aggregates industry works responsibly with an ongoing commitment to stewardship, sustainability and stronger communities. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA thanks @RepWesterman and the @NatResources for their work on the ESA Amendments Act. ESA reform is essential to permitting reform. This bill clarifies the permitting process for important projects, without compromising species protections. NSSGA supported the introduction of this bill in March 2025, and we urge its passage now! https://t.co/HM0NA9vlK3 #RocksBuildAmerica
