TFIC also hired an outside firm to help the coalition effectively communicate to the public through media coverage about the importance of transportation.
- Conferences & Meetings - TFIC held an Annual Conference to educate our members and other interested parties about key transportation investment issues, including federal transportation authorization, revenue sources for transportation investment, strengths and weaknesses and their impact on new ideas for funding transportation, including public-private partnerships and bond banks, transportation planning for the next several years, and other significant issues.
