The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) is where the top executives from highway and bridge contractors, engineering firms, traffic safety companies, materials and services firms, heavy equipment manufacturers, researchers, educators and public officials all come together under one roof to move the industry forward. ARTBA focuses exclusively on building and protecting the transportation infrastructure market.

ARTBA’s 6,500 members are among the most influential people and companies in the transportation design and construction industry. And because ARTBA members are vested in the association’s cause, they are actively involved and engaged. They rely on ARTBA for federal legislative, safety, environmental and regulatory news impacting transportation development.

Size of the Market is Significant• Transportation construction generates $364

billion in total annual economic activity for the nation—the equivalent of just over 2 percent of Gross Domestic Product.

• A total of $124.9 billion in highway, bridge, ports and waterways, airport runways and terminals, transit and rail construction work was completed in the United States during 2014.

Reach Your Target Audience• Three-quarters of the top 50 transportation

contractors on the ENR top 400 contractor list are ARTBA members. All ARTBA contractor members on the list account for over 58% of reported transportation-related revenues.

• 80 percent of the world’s 20 largest equipment manufacturers are ARTBA members.

• ARTBA members account for nearly 85 percent of transportation related revenues, or $13.4 billion, for the top 150 transportation planning and design firms on the ENR top 500 list.

Why Advertise with ARTBA?

• 12,700 federal, state, and local transportation officials and safety professionals receive the digital “Transportation Builder.”

“Transportation Builder” Readers Make Purchasing Decisions• Transportation construction contractors spend

nearly $7 billion annually in equipment purchases, leases and rentals, and other capital investments.

• On average, transportation construction contractors spend 10 times more on equipment and capital investment annually than general construction firms. The average ARTBA contractor annually spends over $500,000 on equipment and capital investments.
