Washington Report: Coalition to ensure no trust fund diversion
Led by the U.S.

Led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, several aviation associations have joined with other transportation and manufacturing groups in Americans for Transportation Mobility (ATM) to ensure that money collected for transportation projects is not siphoned by Congress for other uses, as has been done in the past.

Thomas Donohue, chamber president and CEO, said that ATM will provide “support, encouragement and political muscle” to ensure that money collected for intermodal transportation, such as the aviation trust fund, is spent for that which it is earmarked. He said the coalition and its organizations are “going to make sure that the money we paid in is going to be paid out.”
