• Motor vehicle crashes cost Indiana $4.4 billion per year, $715 for each resident, in medical costs, lost productivity, travel delays, workplace costs, insurance costs and legal costs.
• In order to meet the state's needs, Indiana governments would need to invest between $620 and $695 million annually over 20 years to adequately improve water and wastewater infrastructure.
• Indiana has over 93,000 miles of roadway, with more than 84,000 miles of local roads and more than 11,000 miles of state highway, including 1,169 miles of interstate highway.

The Build Indiana Political Action Committee (PAC) is our industry’s collective method of supporting the campaigns of candidates who support our industry. The PAC plays a critical part in electing state leaders. PAC funds are kept entirely separate from BIC’s operating funds. While BIC’s operations are funded by the seven BIC member associations, the PAC is funded by direct contributions from companies that are members of those associations.

In the most recent and previous state legislative sessions, legislators have attempted to divert INDOT highway revenues to other sources. Some legislators proposed increasing traditional road user fees for mass transit operations. And other legislators want to allow local Major Moves construction funds to be used for non-road construction purposes.

On the other hand, in past legislative sessions, many legislators have supported major legislation that increased funding for our state road construction needs, such as Major Moves in 2006 and the 3-cent gas tax increase in 2002.

BIC is working passionately to protect Major Moves and all other highway funding sources. It is imperative that all BIC member companies support the Build Indiana PAC to help elect those candidates who understand and support the needs of our industry.

Please contact the BIC office today for a contribution form. Your contribution will make a difference toward ensuring we reach our goals of protecting and ensuring the continued success of our industry.
