Across the country, highways that were built decades ago now need modernization to serve the needs of growing and changing communities. Over time, many of these roads have become badly mismatched to the way that people use them today, as they serve commercial areas, residential neighborhoods, industrial districts, or areas with an evolving mix of uses. Join USDOT Deputy Secretary Polly Trottenberg and Representative Earl Blumenauer and national and local experts on July 31 at 3:00-4:15 p.m. ET to explore case studies, resources, and Federal funding opportunities that can support the modernization of Legacy Highways as a way to improve safety, spur development and affordable housing investment, and provide better access for everyone using the road. Register to attend the webinar at the link in the comments section. #USDOT #highways #modernizing #communitydevelopment #grants

🚙 The Federal Government is making local roads safer with $4.4 billion available under the Roads to Recovery program over the next five years. 👏 The Federal Government has committed to progressively doubling the program’s funding to $1 billion annually, delivered in the 2024-25 Budget. Roads to Recovery supports local road construction and maintenance by Local Government. It directly impacts the quality of our local roads, allows for potholes to be filled, pavements to be repaired, culverts to be installed to improve drainage and keep roads open during bad weather, and helps makes sure we all get home safely. Council will receive $12,289,525 in total across the five years of this program. This includes an additional $3.9 million on what we anticipated to be receiving and will be spent across our extensive road network . 👉 Read more: https://ow.ly/nGbl50RXbIO #federationcouncil #creatingopportunity #celebratingcommunity 📷Federation Council Mayor, Cr Patrick Bourke at the recent NSW Rural and Regional Councils Summit

Recent increases in state and federal transportation funding have allowed Ohio to make needed improvements to the condition, safety and efficiency of the state’s roads and bridges. While this additional funding has been helpful, many needed projects will not proceed due to a lack of available funding and the impact of #highwayconstruction inflation.

We welcome the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves’ commitment to planning reform in her speech today. Reform of the National Planning Policy Framework is something we’ve long campaigned for and will help developers get on with building the new safe and secure lorry parks and truckstops drivers deserve. We’re encouraged that the emphasis on planning appeals escalated to government including critical infrastructure projects will take a regional overview rather than just a local view. Funding for 300 additional planning officers in local authorities should help clear some of the backlog of highways improvements and green infrastructure projects to improve journey times and make roads more efficient. Improving our road networks is crucial to driving economic growth and we look forward to working with the new government on helping them deliver their plans. #RHAInfrastructure #RHAFacilities #RHACostsAndRegulation
