Five U.S. companies – BNSF, Caterpillar, Dow Chemical, Honeywell and UPS – launched an alliance to further the effort toward the passage of a long-term, well-funded surface transportation bill before the expiration of MAP-21 in September.
According to a press release, the companies formed the Alliance for American Competitiveness because they rely on a functioning transportation infrastructure network and represent the business users of highways and bridges who are dependent on a well-functioning, up-to-date system.
