Proud to share MTBMA’s voice at the inaugural Maryland Chamber of Commerce Transportation Policy Forum this morning! Michael Sakata representing our industry and members alongside MD Chamber’s Mary Kane and other industry leaders was a privilege. Transportation infrastructure is the backbone of Maryland’s future, we know that safer roads save lives, family-sustaining jobs strengthen our communities, and modernized infrastructure enhances our quality of life. But with a $3.1 billion gap in the Transportation Trust Fund, the road ahead demands bold solutions. Together, we can drive innovative funding strategies and resilient infrastructure to power Maryland’s progress. Thank you to the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and presenting sponsor Amazon for hosting this important discussion and inviting MTBMA to the table. #MTBMA #TransportationInnovation #InfrastructureMatters

Well said, Megan Owings. Construction is not just about physical infrastructure. It represents the jobs, stability, and opportunity that our economy is built upon. Without steady, sustainable investment in Maryland's transportation revenue streams, our state will continue to fall into disrepair. Learn more:

?? Today, MTBMA joined forces with engineers, contractors, safety professionals, and industry leaders at the 3rd Annual Safety Summit! ?? The event kicked off with opening remarks from Teri Soos, P.E., SHA Deputy Chief Operations Officer, and continued with insights from Heidi Van Luven, P.E. Luven, VP of Mid-Atlantic Transportation Engineering at Alpha Corporation and ACEC-MD President, William Pines, SHA Administrator, and Chrissy Nizer, MVA Administrator. The group discussed progress on the Governor’s Work Zone Safety Workgroup recommendations, all emphasizing a common goal: ensuring ongoing review, improvement, and education to keep everyone safe. Emily Cook (Wagman) and Neil Leary (WRA) presented on the essential roles and responsibilities across project phases, sparking a meaningful exchange on material staging, work zone access, area of work, and the unique challenges contractors face. The discussion underscored the importance of the "human element"—from safe access to porto-johns and breaks meeting OSHA and MSHA standards, to managing the complexities of night work. Attendees also connected with exhibitors who showcased innovations in work zone safety, including Traffic Pro-Beds, Raptor Truck System, Horizon Signal, and Bryx powered by KCI. Together, we’re building a safer future in the field! #SafetySummit #WorkZoneSafety #MTBMA
