ARPA Update on Transportation
DC Fly-In, Accelerate AZ and Transportation Town Hall
As you may be aware, APRA has committed to assisting with a state wide effort towards educating elected officials and the public about the need for and benefits of transportation and infrastructure investment at the state and Federal levels. Most recently this effort has been realized by three recent efforts, a visit to DC to meet with our congressional delegation, support of Accelerate Arizona and participation in a Transportation Town Hall.
DC Transportation Fly-In:
Last week our Chairman, Brad Belt of Drake Company and immediate Past Chair, Bill Mackey of Granite Construction joined Mark Reardon of Vulcan Materials for a trip to DC for the Transportation Construction Coalition. The group met with every member of the Arizona delegation as well as the Chairs or staff of the House and Senate Transportation Committees.
The government's budget deficit as a share of gross domestic product has dropped to its lowest level in seven years. Even so, Congress has relied on more than 30 short-term extensions to keep highway programs afloat. Lawmakers all agree that America's roads and bridges are in serious condition.
On its face, the problem is about numbers. The Highway Trust Fund, funded largely by a gas tax whose rate hasn't changed since 1993, is facing a $13 billion shortfall in fiscal 2016. Hiking any taxes is an enormous lift. And lawmakers never indexed the gas tax to inflation, which means it has continued to decline.
Then there's the shift in most Americans' consumption of gasoline. For decades, as more and more people got behind the wheel, policymakers could expect gas tax revenues, the primary driver of highway funding, to steadily rise. Now, with people driving more fuel-efficient cars, gasoline consumption is set to stall, leading to a widening gap between gas tax revenues and funding needs.
Not long ago, Republicans were pretty reliable backers of infrastructure spending, a priority that routinely united business and labor groups. Now, the GOP is less than helpful even though businesses, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and state governments are still adamant that infrastructure spending is a good use of public dollars as it drives commerce.
ARPA Joins the State Chamber's Accelerate Arizona Effort:
Accelerate Arizona is an in depth effort to educate state elected and thought leaders on the merits of transportation and infrastructure investment. Recently for example, they provided testimony on a joint Senate and House Transportation Committee hearing at the Arizona State Capitol. The information was well received and discussion continues with the support of the House and Senate Chairmen. There has been discussion about forming a working transportation group for state legislators to continue the education process.
The U.S. Chamber & Council of State Chambers DC fly-in took place in late February. The Chamber and NSSGA; per ARPA's request, met with members of Congress to urge action on a long-term solution for the Highway Trust Fund and re-authorization of the surface transportation bill (MAP-21) and more recently staff accompanied the Arizona Rock Products Association in April to continue urging for solutions for the Highway Trust Fund.
Accelerate Arizona has included and presented to key business and stakeholder groups such as the Transportation and Trade Corridor Alliance, Greater Phoenix Leadership, Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry Board, Arizona Manufacturers Council, Arizona Beer & Wine Distributors, Transportation Business Partners (of which ARPA is a member), Prescott Valley Economic Development Committee and the list goes on. Upcoming visits will include meetings with the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, Rural Transportation Authority, League of Towns and Cities, and the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
You can find out more exceptional transportation collateral materials for employees and business groups as well as request a presentation for your company or an organization near you by utilizing the Accelterate Arizona website.

Surface Transportation Update
Senators Boxer and Paul Introduce Legislation ARPA Learns Last Day of Visit to DC
ARPA leadership requested the House and Senate members of the Arizona delegation to incorporate the following policy priorities in the next federal surface transportation program re-authorization legislation. This should include a five or six year re-authorization of the federal highway and public transportation programs that increases federal investment to levels that at minimum will allow states to preserve existing road and bridge conditions and prevent traffic congestion from getting worse. We would support any multi-year re-authorization measure that builds on and promotes state utilization of MAP-21's provisions to reduce the unnecessary delay in the surface transportation project review. What we learned upon the final day of our visits to the Hill is as follows:
A proposal to fund surface transportation through tax repatriation has been introduced as Senate leadership continues to mull highway, mass transit re-authorization. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee are done with policy portion of surface transportation re-authorization, but Republicans could still pass a short-term extension. Meanwhile, Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have introduced a bill that establishes a voluntary 6.5 percent tax rate on offshore earnings, which Boxer said could be a funding mechanism to help pay for a long-term surface transportation re-authorization and an alternative to a "costly and disruptive" short-term patch.
Boxer and Paul are currently working with Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), to get the right priorities so they can get the bill across the finish line. The bill ideally would be a six year bill and comparable to the re-authorization bill from 2005. Many would like to see a long-term surface transportation bill passed before the end of the fiscal year as the current law authorizing federal highway and mass transit programs expires May 31.
The Highway Trust Fund that supports those programs is expected to reach insolvency this summer, but Boxer said she is hearing that Senate Republicans are working quietly on a short-term funding patch for the highway bill.
A number of industry groups including ARPA said they would prefer a long-term re-authorization bill. ARPA; along with many others, visited Capitol Hill April 14-15 to lobby lawmakers as part of a "Transportation Construction Coalition Fly-In."
On the House side, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) has said that funding talks continue between him and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis). Congressman Shuster said he expects House lawmakers will decide whether to move forward with a short-or long-term proposal.
Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.) has also introduced a bill in the lower chamber that would fund a long-term highway bill through tax repatriation. All feel that Congress should move past budget gimmicks that will only sustain a short-term transportation extension. There are bipartisan proposals to pay for a long-term funding bill.
Stay tuned for more updates and action alerts regarding how you can help as the deadline comes to a close this month.

Arizona Delegation Opposes WOTUS Rule
And that's a good thing!
The Waters of the United States rule has been sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This is the final step before publication in the federal register. OMB has the ability to approve the rule as-is, or ask for revisions. Typically OMB reviews take two months or more, although reviews can be shorter or longer. EPA's water administrator Ken Kopocis indicated that the rule will be fully implemented by October 1.
As you may remember from previous editions of the ARPA newsletter, Representative Paul Gosar originally introduced H.R. 594, the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act in order to thwart EPA's Waters of the US Rule which went to the Administration's Office of Management and Budget.
Recently, both Congressman Gosar and Senator Flake of Arizona supported or originated their own legislation to address the problematic rule which would have a devastating impact on the rock products industry.
The House voted on the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act, H.R.1732 that would stop the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing the rule on Waters of the United States. This legislation would force the EPA and the Corps to consult with state and local officials as well large and small businesses to formulate a more workable rule, and perform a more thorough economic analysis.
Likewise in the Senate, Senator Flake sponsored legislation that will direct the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to withdraw the current proposed rule to define the term "waters of the United States" and directs a process to address gaps in the science used to define jurisdictional waters under the Clean Water Act. Before proposing a revised rule the EPA and USACE must convene a panel to define metrics of connectivity between water bodies and then a commission to recommend specific values of the metrics that constitute a "significant" connection.
We urge members of ARPA to reach out to the delegation and support both pieces of legislation.

 A Note to ARPA from the Director of ADOTToday's Training of Tomorrow's Construction Worker
By John S. Halikowski, Director
Arizona Department of Transportation
Arizona's transportation system keeps the wheels turning on the state's economy. Every day, freight-hauling commercial trucks, commuters, school buses, vacationers and tourists crisscross the state, sharing an expansive surface transportation system valued at nearly $20 billion. That infrastructure is the result of many years of careful planning and dedicated investment, yet without the skill and grit of the "unsung heroes" of transportation - construction workers - the transportation system we take for granted for our livelihood would not exist.
The Arizona Department of Transportation will rely on well-trained construction workers as our agency seeks to preserve the quality of the state's transportation infrastructure, and modernize and expand Key Commerce Corridors in a 20-year plan to enhance Arizona's transportation connections to regional and global markets.
The demand for construction workers may outstrip supply, however, due to the anticipated large number of retiring workers over the next decade as well as a limited current number of skilled workers. ADOT wants to get ahead of that curve to prepare the next generation for transportation careers to tackle critical infrastructure projects across the state.
ADOT's Business Engagement and Compliance Office is leading this effort with its Construction Academy Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program. Our agency has taken the opportunity to partner with GateWay Community College in Phoenix to offer interested persons the ability to learn about and experience the trades available in the transportation construction field. The program is designed to create a pool of qualified workers from specific target groups - women, minorities, economically disadvantaged and veterans - to work in the highway construction industry.
The Highway Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Certification Program features a seven-week course at GateWay through which each participant receives 12 credits that can be applied toward their degree, an Occupational Safety and Health Administration certification voucher, and a Traffic Control Flagger certification voucher. Participants completing the pre-apprenticeship program are empowered to move forward knowing that employment opportunities are there for them. Each participant has an opportunity to network with ADOT's partners in the construction industry and other apprenticeship programs. In the near future, our agency will partner with other community colleges and organizations across the state to bring the pre-apprenticeship program to northern and southern Arizona.
Arizona must act today to overcome challenges with transportation system improvements because our future economic growth is dependent upon protecting the value of existing infrastructure, fixing the systems in disrepair and modernizing where needed. Through the Construction Academy Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program, ADOT is setting the stage today to ensure that tomorrow's transportation construction workers are the best-trained and best-equipped to lay the path to a bright economic future. A big part of that future is the strong relationship between ADOT and our partners at ARPA. I appreciate the continued support.

Phoenix Approves Transportation Initiative
Council Votes to Go to the Ballot
The Phoenix City Council approved a proposal to take an initiative to the ballot that totals $31.7 billion over the next 30 years that would fund 42 miles of light rail, and 1,150 miles of new bike lanes, although the implementation hinges on voter approval of an increased sales tax that goes to the ballot in August. Opponents say the tax increase is too big, and light rail too costly, not to mention that the effort may be actually funding public safety.
The council has yet to approve exactly what wording residents will see on their ballots when they vote, but how the city would spend the money is set and debate on the plan already has started. Supporters say revenue raised from increasing the city's sales tax from 0.4 percent to 0.7 percent - or $0.70 on a $100 purchase - would add to other funds for a comprehensive transportation vision including light-rail expansion, new bus lines and street improvements.
Mayor Greg Stanton will be visiting with the ARPA Board to discuss the effort further.

ARPA Safety All-Stars
Professionals Honored at the Annual Safety Luncheon
This year's Safety Professional of the Year was awarded to Jamey Brown of CEMEX. The nomination was submitted by Brian Krauss also of CEMEX.
Jamey is not a safety professional according to his title, but as Director of Aggregates for AZ/Nevada he wears many hats. Any safety professional knows that their job is significantly easier based on the support of management. The aggregate side of the business had no recordable or lost time injuries for 2014. This is not based on luck. It happened as a result of Jamey's commitment to safety and the tone he has set with employees. He simply won't accept anything less. Despite the adversity of the economy or any number of other detractors, safety has always been the primary focus for Jamey. He simply won't allow shortcuts. Building this culture is not easy and Jamey knows you must lead by example. He is the one out in front of the employees teaching refresher training, conferring with the employees regarding solution oriented approaches to tasks and having an open door to concerns. He builds relationships that are of paramount importance to developing trust and commitment. He understands any concerns raised by staff, because given his vast experience he has performed those jobs. In addition, Jamey engages with the communities where CEMEX operates. For example, he worked with the City of Phoenix during construction of a new conveyor bridge over Broadway Road, serves on the West Valley Mining District, has conducted multiple tours to help elected officials, agency personnel and citizens understand the industry and last year Jamey accepted the ARPA CEA Award for a facility he oversees. One of the components of the award is an emphasis on above and beyond compliance pertaining to safety. We appreciate your leadership on so many fronts.
This year's Safety Committee Member of the Year was awarded to Ron Carruthers of Hanson Aggregates. The nomination was submitted by Mr. Paul Marsh of Calportland.
See Paul Marsh's Letter Honoring Ron Carruthers
Ron is kind, competent, a servant leader and a wonderful person to work with. ARPA and our Safety Committee thanks you for your service to both the community and our industry.
14 ARPA Companies Honored for Zero Incidents
ARPA started a new tradition last year. The Zero Incidents Award recognizes companies that have not had a reportable accident for the year. Congratulations to all of this year's recipients.

ARPA Names Industry Driver of the Year
Congratulations goes to Frank Santacruz
At the Annual Safety Luncheon it was announced that the 2014-15 ARPA Driver of the Year is Frank Santacruz of CEMEX. The nomination was submitted by Operations Manager, Dave Carter.
Frank previously won ARPA's DOQ in 2014 and has 48 years experience driving and 43 for the industry. He is known by his peers as honest, hardworking, and always reliable. He possesses tremendous professional skills and abilities that make him a cut above the rest. He actively participates in all safety meetings and always assists new employees to help them understand the safety culture of CEMEX and they know they have a friend in him.
In addition, Frank promotes the personal and professional growth of his fellow drivers, passes on what he has learned during his 48 years of driving which is ensuring an excellent safety record that spans beyond just his own personal responsibilities. Frank was twice named company Driver of the Year and was later honored as NRMCA's 2006 Driver of the Year. ARPA is proud of Frank and is grateful for the tremendous example he has set for others.
