In the pages of this annual publication, we’re connecting you with a “who’s who” of the top executives and companies in the transportation infrastructure business. We’re also connecting you with companies that have products and services aimed at helping improve your business operations. The directory—the most widely utilized association resource throughout the year—provides contact data for ARTBA volunteer leaders, including the members of the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, the Council of State Executives, Past Chairman’s Council, and life members. New for this year, we feature short bio sketches on the ARTBA officers. The directory also lists more than 550 “graduates” of the ARTBA Foundation’s Young Executive Development Program, or YEDP, which celebrates its 20th Nick Ivanoff anniversary in 2015. We feature the many ARTBA committees and councils that are charged with developing transportation policy, along with the diverse 2015 ARTBA Chairman roster of industry professionals from both the private and public sectors serving on them. A searchable database of contact information for all 6,500 ARTBA members can be found in the “Members Only” section of www.artba.org. Beginning on page B-1, you’ll find the Buyers’ Guide, which showcases products and services from leading industry suppliers, manufacturers, design firms and contractors. The guide is chock-full of information that includes a description of each company’s offerings and available sales contacts so that you can reach them directly to learn more about how they can help your firm, agency or institution. Special thanks and appreciation are due to all our advertisers and Buyers’ Guide participants! ARTBA could not produce this directory without their support. We hope you will use it regularly during 2015! ARTBA 2015 Leadership Directory & Buyers' Guide A-7 ARTBA GLOBE AWARD WINNER 495 Express Lanes | Arlington, Va.

We have world-class expertise in architecture, design and engineering, and British companies are leading the way in sustainable construction solutions. It is also a sector with considerable growth opportunities, with the global construction market forecast to grow by over 70% by 2025. Changes in the international economy are creating new opportunities for Britain. To help boost the economic recovery, Government is doing all it can to help British businesses grow and have the aspiration, confidence and drive to compete in the global race. This includes reforming the planning system, ensuring funding is available for key infrastructure projects and supporting the housing market through key initiatives such as the Help-to-Buy Equity Loan Scheme and the Funding for Lending Scheme. The Government wants to work with industry to ensure British companies are well-placed to take advantage of these opportunities. As part of our Industrial Strategy policy, the Government is building long-term partnerships with sectors that can deliver significant growth.

Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Aurukun Associates Agreement Hon. P.D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. I table for the information of the House an article in this morning's Courier-Mail headed 'Alcan urges Beattie to reconsider Aurukun' and an article in today's Australian headed 'Canada heavies Canberra over mine'. On 22 October, nearly seven months ago, the Natural Resources Minister, Stephen Robertson, and I demanded that French mining company Aluminium Pechiney Holdings Pty Ltd surrender mining leases it had held over the vast Aurukun mineral deposits on Cape York since 1975. We sought surrender of the lease because Pechiney failed to commence construction of an alumina refinery by 31 December 1988—15 years ago. This was a key requirement of the Aurukun Associates Agreement 1975— Mr SEENEY: Mr Speaker, I rise to a point of order. We had this debate in the House yesterday. Mr SPEAKER: Order! This is not a debate. This is a point of privilege. Mr SEENEY: How does the continuation of this debate constitute a point of privilege? Mr SPEAKER: Order! Have you heard the whole of the point of privilege yet? Nor have I. Mr SEENEY: I have heard what the Premier said because it was in the debate in this House yesterday. Mr SPEAKER: I listen to every point of privilege, whether it is raised by your side of the parliament or the other side.

  • January 25, 2012 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES HOUSE
    January 25, 2012 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE AND SENATE: As Congress embarks on a new legislative session, we, the undersigned companies and organizations, urge you to Make Transportation Job #1 in 2012 and pass federal highway, transit and safety legislation that, at a minimum, maintains investment levels before the current law expires on March 31. The long-delayed reauthorization of federal highway and public transportation programs is a major piece of unfinished business that can provide a meaningful boost to the U.S. economy and its workers and already has broad-based support. To grow, the United States must invest. There are few federal efforts that rival the potential of critical transportation infrastructure investments for sustaining and creating jobs and economic activity over the short term. Maintaining—and ideally increasing—federal funding for road, bridge, public transportation and safety investments can sustain and create jobs and economic activity in the short-term, and improve America’s export and travel infrastructure, offer new economic growth opportunities, and make the nation more competitive over the long-term. Program reform would make the dollars stretch even further: reducing the time it takes transportation projects to get from start to finish, encouraging public-private partnerships and use of private capital, increasing accountability for using federal funds to address the highest priority needs, and spurring innovation and technology deployment. We recognize there are challenges in finding the resources necessary to adequately fund such a measure. However, with the economic opportunities that a well-crafted measure could afford and emerging political consensus for advancing such an effort, we believe it is time for all involved parties to come together and craft a final product.

    Building a Greener Britain Transforming the UK’s Existing Housing Stock by Gavin Killip Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford A report for the Federation of Master Builders Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the External Affairs Committee of the Federation of Master Builders, who commissioned the research. Brian Berry and Richard Hyslop at the FMB have managed the campaign, arranged many useful meetings and provided invaluable support in many ways. Nick Eyre and Brenda Boardman have made insightful comments to help give clarity and perspective to some of the issues discussed in the report. Special thanks are due to Russell Smith of Parity Projects for generously allowing me to observe a pilot training session, sponsored by FMB London and London Borough of Croydon. John Doggart of the Sustainable Energy Academy, Bob Stanton and Steve Fellows of Bournville Village Trust kindly provided information on case studies.
