Highway and Transportation Division Chairman Don Weaver presented AGC testimony to the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming the week of March 16 on the topic of “Constructing a Green Transportation Policy.” Weaver used the opportunity to point out that studies show that improving highway infrastructure to allow vehicles to move more freely through existing bottlenecks will significantly reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. He also said that improving existing transit systems or building new ones in congested urban areas will also reduce GHG emissions.
