NAPA Is Your Voice in the Nation's Capital

Washington, DC, is a complex legislative playing field that NAPA's Government Affairs team deftly navigates to ensure the asphalt pavement industry's voice is heard on Capitol Hill. We rally the entire industry, including suppliers and equipment manufacturers, to safeguard asphalt's essential place in the transportation construction sector.
