The Third Annual "National Workshop for State & Local Transportation Advocates," a signature program of the Transportation Investment Advocacy Center (TIAC), will be held July 13 in conjunction with ARTBA's Public-Private Partnerships (P3) Conference at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The workshop will feature an interactive session where attendees break into small groups to discuss their own real-world campaign challenges and share advice on how to overcome them.

ARTBA Chief Economist Dr. Alison Premo Black will provide a comprehensive report on recent state and local transportation funding trends, as well as preview November 2016 ballot measures.
