2026 Washington D.C. Fly-In

September 22–24, 2026   Join Us!

It's the longest running event of this kind and we bring representatives of local government, the transportation industry, transit systems, labor and other advocates together to jointly advocate for transportation needs in Minnesota.

This is your opportunity to hear directly from our US Senators and Members of Congress about federal funding for transportation in Minnesota. You will also hear from transportation leaders at the national and state levels.

Alliance staff will make appointments for you to meet with your member of Congress and staff. We make it easy for you to advocate and get the latest developments on policy at the national level.
