The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials recently unveiled its “Policy Action Agenda” for 2026, which offers legislative recommendations for Congress and regulatory recommendations to the Trump Administration regarding the collective priorities of state departments of transportation for the calendar year.
This resource is intended to support consistent messaging for the visits by state DOT executives to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Department of Transportation later this month as part of the 2026 AASHTO Washington Briefing conference.
In addition to topical issues, key elements of these recommendations are based on a set of reauthorization policy resolutions adopted by AASHTO’s Board of Directors at the organization’s 2025 Spring Meeting in Hartford, CT.
Those policy resolutions concern safety; funding, finance, and innovation; project delivery; the federal-aid highway program; public transportation; and rail transportation.
