On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our strong support for Representative Marc Molinaro to serve as the next Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). NSSGA proudly represents more than 530 members, including aggregates producers, as well as manufacturers of equipment and services that support the construction industry. Our members form the foundation of the U.S. infrastructure sector, accounting for over 90 percent of the nation’s annual crushed stone production and 70 percent of sand and gravel. These materials are essential for constructing homes, buildings, roads, ports, dams and public works projects. The industry’s economic impact extends far beyond the job site. For every direct job in the aggregates industry, an additional 5.95 jobs are supported in other sectors. Similarly, each dollar of earnings in our industry generates $4.95 in additional earnings throughout the broader economy.
