Carmen Group is a recognized leader in federal transportation lobbying. We specialize in helping both public sector and private sector clients achieve their goals in Washington. With over thirty years of hands-on transportation lobbying expertise, our professionals fully understand highways, bridges, transit, rail, aviation and related infrastructure issues and needs.
Much of our effort is focused on gaining maximum federal support for important local transportation programs and projects. We routinely work with members of Congress, key committees, and their staffs on transportation legislation, policies, programs, projects and related authorization and appropriations issues.
At the same time, Carmen Group works routinely with Federal executive branch officials at all levels in such agencies as the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to help advance needed legislation, funding requests, policy proposals, regulatory changes and project decisions in the transportation arena. We have special experience in transportation regulatory policy and the processes by which such regulations are promulgated and changed.
Our firm’s unique business process, based on thorough research, comprehensive strategic planning and professionally executed tactical plans, has been proven to work successfully time after time. Most notably, we have long-term experience in successfully addressing the often-complicated federal transportation authorization and appropriations processes. Our record of success on behalf of our clients is formidable and includes securing billions of dollars in federal funding and funding commitments.
Carmen Group’s Transportation Practice also publishes the highly regarded Washington Letter on Transportation, a weekly online publication covering significant federal transportation news and policy developments. It is read each week by a loyal following of state and local officials, and private sector professionals, who want to stay abreast of the most up-to-date news and insights about the nation’s most important transportation issues.
