AAW Policy Bites: Rural Infrastructure & Broadband: Transportation & Rural Roads

Topic: Transportation & Rural Roads

Every crop harvested and every animal raised depends on safe, efficient transportation. AAW supports investments that maintain and modernize rural roads, bridges, and railways that keep America’s agriculture connected to markets.

📌 Our Position: AAW advocates for rural infrastructure funding focused on ag transportation routes. We support maintenance of local bridges and roads essential for moving equipment and goods, as well as rail and port systems that carry U.S. commodities to global markets.

🚜 Why It Matters: Strong rural infrastructure isn’t just pavement—it’s productivity. When farmers can move their products safely and efficiently, rural economies thrive, and consumers benefit from reliable food supply chains.
