Infrastructure Advantage
Infrastructure is the backbone of America’s economy. To have the strongest economy in the world, America must have the best infrastructure in the world. It is time to reclaim our Infrastructure Advantage. AEM and equipment manufacturers have put together a set of policy recommendations for doing just that.

Rebuild with Progress
AEM has always been a key industry partner when it comes to discussing our infrastructure, and how our industry can help move infrastructure projects forward. Our report, Rebuild with Purpose: An affirmative vision for 21st century American infrastructure, in partnership with the Brookings Institution lays the groundwork for a forward-looking infrastructure vision. Over 30 policy recommendations from the report were included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act when it was signed into law in fall of 2021.
