2008 TCI-PAC membership Campaign

Campaign Materials
Convincing the state legislature to enact funding increases for highways and mass transit will be difficult. The current mood is opposed to anything that is regarded as a tax increase. Industry members must be prepared to assist legislators who are willing to make tough choices for long-term improvements to transportation as opposed to quick fix political deals. An important component of this effort will be broadening industry participation in TCI-PAC.

We welcome you to become a member of TCI-PAC in this criticalyear for our industry.
Why Join the TCI-PAC?
Industry Agenda The TCI-PAC creates the political focus for our industry by identifying key issues and developing plans of action to get things done for us within the legislative system.
Collective Action An individual working alone cannot possibly accomplish as much as we can through working together as a joint lobbying force.
Industry Focus The TCI-PAC represents the interests of every facet of our industry, and is working to help ensure each company becomes more profitable. Only through the TCI-PAC can we secure a funding increase, streamlined regulation, and the effective delivery of our message to elected officials.
Strategic Giving Every dollar donated to the TCI-PAC is deliberately given to those legislators who consistently prove they have a vested interest in supporting and improving our industry.
Outreach The TCI-PAC also serves as our vehicle to help educate legislators about our issues and concerns. This is invaluable because many freshman legislators
have little awareness about how the industry is funded and how projects are
awarded prior to office.
