AEM announced the launch of "Momentum to Move,” a new campaign in partnership with the Washington Examiner designed to elevate the voice of equipment manufacturers in the national infrastructure conversation.
The continued need for greater investment in roads and bridges, ports and waterways, power grids, and broadband infrastructure demands immediate action, and the campaign urges Congress to reauthorize the surface transportation programs set to expire at the end of September. It also highlights the essential role equipment manufacturers play in building and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps America moving.
“A modern and reliable infrastructure system is critical to the long-term growth and competitiveness of the U.S. equipment manufacturing industry,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM’s Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations. “Momentum to Move reflects our commitment to advancing solutions that strengthen our nation’s infrastructure, support American jobs, and keep our economy moving forward.”
To kick off the campaign, AEM has launched a digital content hub featuring interviews with policymakers, perspectives from industry leaders, and original reporting and analysis. New content will be added regularly to inform stakeholders and build support for the reauthorization of surface transportation programs.
AEM is urging policymakers to support:
- A transportation funding bill that focuses on creating family-sustaining jobs, making America’s infrastructure safer, and connecting more communities.
- A sustainable and long-term funding mechanism for America’s infrastructure systems.
- Investment in digital construction technology to improve jobsite safety, prevent costly project errors, and cut overall construction costs.
Through “Momentum to Move,” AEM is working to ensure policymakers understand the importance of sustained infrastructure investment and its impact on manufacturers, workers, and communities.
