OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, INSTEAD OF APPROVING
HIGHWAY FUNDING, CONGRESS HAS GRANTED A SERIES OF
EXTENSIONS OF THE FORMER BILL. WITH NO LONG-TERM
SOLUTION, AND ONLY SHORT-TERM "FIXES" FOR YEARS,
AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE CONTINUES TO SLIP INTO A
WORSE STATE. FUNDING FOR AMERICA'S HIGHWAYS RISKS
RUNNING OUT IF CONGRESS DOES NOT TAKE ACTION BY
MAY 31, 2015.
To encourage a long-term solution, Astec Industries launched a national effort to rally Americans and
transportation-industry-related groups to encourage Congress to take action.
The sole mission of the Don't Let America Dead End campaign is to get people to consistently contact their
federally elected representatives (President, Senators, and Congressperson) in Washington, DC and ask them
to support and pass a long-term highway bill with increased funding.
The Astec-led Don't Let America Dead End movement includes a national trade ad campaign, direct out-
reach to federally elected officials, email marketing, sales-force effort, educational materials, a new website
as the campaign's "take action" center (www.DontLetAmericaDeadEnd.com) and much more.
