TRAA Touts 2021 Achievements and the Year Ahead

As the final days of 2021 unfold, TRAA, through their vigilance and advocacy, reports several major achievements. One achievement is the inclusion of the apprenticeship pilot program for under-21 CDL holders that was part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that passed in November of 2021. Included in that Act is Protecting Roadside First Responders while minimum liability insurance for towers has not been increased.  

TRAA has also stood firm against legislation for a government mandate on financial institutions to report inflows and outflows of more than 10,000 into a personal and business accounts. Currently, such a provision has not been included in the Build Back Better Act passed by the House, which is still pending a Senate vote. The organization remains steadfastly against it. 

In 2022, TRAA remains committed to its number 1 priority: promoting public policy to protect the lives of towers, including federal Slow Down, Move Over Law provisions. The organization will also stay focused on implementation of the CDL pilot program, weights and measures amendments, and more.  

In March, TRAA is looking forward to their annual Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day and will be seeking tow industry participation.
