2023 A View From the Hill

United States

A View from the Hill

Join COMTO through September 21-22, 2023, for a series of legislative activities on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, bringing together legislative and industry experts to discuss relevant issues facing the transportation industry. The program begins with a legislative panel discussion and concludes with COMTO members visiting their respective Congressional officials and representatives. 

Congressional Meetings

Plan Ahead

Reach out to your elected representative's office well in advance to arrange a meeting tailored to your needs (aim for a few weeks ahead, if feasible). Many Members of Congress offer a user-friendly online form on their official government websites to initiate a meeting request.

  • Find Your Legislator and Schedule Your Meeting
  • Go to USAGov to find the contact information for your state and local policymakers.
    1. Enter your home address
     2. A list of your legislators will come up at the federal, state, and local level
  • Go to their website and request a meeting
    1. Provide essential details, including:
    2. Your identity
    3. Additional attendees
    4. The anticipated time duration (usually around 15 minutes),
    5. The specific topic you wish to discuss. Let them know you’re a local constituent and a part of the COMTO View From The Hill Advocacy Day.

To ensure your meeting is confirmed, take the proactive step of making a confirmation call the day before your scheduled appointment.
