As a member of SBEAC, CTA plays a role on behalf of the small business employer community and has provided feedback to the EDD’s Tax Branch on various tax policy and procedural initiatives.
CTA along with Caltrans and the CHP will be hosting a "Lessons Learned" roundtable discussion regarding this year’s unprecedented storms that had a tremendous impact on the trucking industry’s ability to transport goods over the Donner Pass region.
