Through Let’s Rebuild America, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce advocates for the need to modernize and expand our nation’s transportation, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure. Without proper investment and attention to these networks, our nation’s economic health, competitive advantage, and quality of life are at risk.
Report: The Transportation Challenge
Moving the U.S. Economy
April 2008
The U.S. Chamber, in partnership with Americans for Transportation Mobility, released a report today which studied "the linkages between the capacity and performance of the nation’s transportation system and U.S. economic productivity, competitiveness, and growth."
How can you stay in business with nothing to offer?
American consumers depend on goods transported through our roads, railways, waterways, and aviation system. The problems resulting from our aging infrastructure are leaving American businesses with less to offer.
The U.S. Chamber will put money, people, research, programs, and strong political action around a sustained, long-term campaign to rebuild the economic platform of our nation. Four key goals will define the mission and underpin our work:
Documenting the Problem with Solid, Indisputable Research
Educating Americans about the Benefits of Infrastructure and the Cost of Failure
Advancing human progress through an economic, political and social system based on individual freedom, incentive, initiative, opportunity, and responsibility.
