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.

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
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
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
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 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
