To seek funding from Congress for the High-Performance Concrete (HPC) bridge program, PCA and NeigerDesign developed communications materials describing the poor state of bridges in the US and the need for research and technology transfer for durable, high-performance concrete bridges. Building a New Generation of Bridges - A Strategic Perspective for the Nation includes an anchor brochure, a summary brochure, a CD, and a website. The program generated grassroots support from the construction industry and public works officials, and was used by PCA's Washington, D.C. office for government affairs outreach. The new transportation bill included an HPC program and authorized $16.5 million for its implementation.
