I write to you on behalf of members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) in strong support of the nomination of Mr. Sean McMaster’s nomination to serve as the next Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrator. Mr. McMaster has an impressive background in transportation policy and his proven track record of leadership will be vital for steering FHWA through the critical challenges ahead. We urge you to support his nomination. NSSGA represents over 500 aggregates producers, manufacturers and service providers responsible for the essential raw materials that make up our nation’s highways. In fact, 38,000 tons of aggregates are in every mile of highway. As a key stakeholder in the national highway system, we understand the critical role that efficient and effective highway management plays in maintaining the infrastructure that supports our economy and communities.
