The temporary approach instead of long term employment was wrong.

Though the industry would welcome additional money, executives say it's more important for Congress to reauthorize the six-year $286 billion federal transportation funding act, which expired at the end of September. Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., who heads the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, wants to increase the funding level to $450 billion over six years.

Reauthorizing the act, the main source of federal money for state transportation agencies, would allow states to plan and execute a wide range of short- and long-term projects.

"Our infrastructure needs are so large," Casso said. "What's required is sustained expenditures and a commitment of dollars over time."
