No Quick-Fix for ‘Fix-It-First’ Policy

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The transportation construction industry is squaring off against the FHWA in a two-year battle to get states to fix existing highways rather than expand the nation’s road system with new ones. Framed as a “simple internal guidance document” in 2021, the “fix-itfirst” memo has resulted in threats to challenge the rule in Congress.

Sam Graves, chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, believes the rule would delay or deter critical road and highway expansion projects.

see MEMO page 88

The IIJA memo advises transportation leaders to maximize existing rights-of-way for accommodation of non-motorized modes and transit options that increase safety, accessibility and/or connectivity.
