Aggregates are the second most utilized product in the world and are the foundation to create buildings, roads, airports and bridges. They are indispensable in developing the infrastructure needed to access clean water; deliver reliable energy; advance environmental stewardship; and build the transportation networks that sustain our lives.

The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) represents the men and women who work every day to produce over 2.5 billion tons of aggregates each year and over 100 million tons of industrial sand. NSSGA members are actively engaged in advancing policies that improve our infrastructure and build sustainable communities. 

Read here for an overview of the specific policies NSSGA is working to address with the 119th Congress and the Trump administration, as we collectively work to build a better future. 

• Pass the Next Surface Transportation Bill: Invest in Our Nation's Infrastructure
• Pro-Growth Tax and Trade Policies
• Ensuring Safe and Efficient Production of Aggregates
• Building Responsibly

In this Washington Times op-ed, NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley outlines the importance of a new surface transportation reauthorization bill, calling on Congress to approve long-term, flexible infrastructure funding to enable success for our country. With the expiration of the current surface transportation reauthorization expiration rapidly approaching, Congress must meet this critical moment in history by passing multi-year, predictable funding to improve our infrastructure and grow our economy.
