Across the U.S. there are hundreds of bridges in poor condition, and while the bipartisan infrastructure law represents a once-in-a-generation investment into our nation’s infrastructure, it alone can’t cover what’s needed to address our aging infrastructure. We will need to identify permanent funding solutions and leverage private capital to get it all done. https://lnkd.in/ec7EJwew

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.

A new study by HIP Investor Inc., and Corvias Infrastructure Solutions, LLC (CIS) examines the effectiveness of “Green Job Creation” within our nation’s largest green stormwater infrastructure programs. The programs studied here-in include those led by Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District in #Wisconsin, Prince George's County, Maryland, Buffalo Sewer Authority in #NewYork, and Philadelphia Water Department in #Pennsylvania. Because each of the programs has already had extensive successes in their regions, they can serve as models for adopting best practices. The report can be found here: https://lnkd.in/etbd3AAE

Here is an awesome idea for Justin Trudeau. He should increase the carbon tax on April 1. He should continue to charge tax on the tax (GST). Then, instead of using our money to do things that we want, like, oh, I dunno - build roads, he should use our money to fly around the world on a private jet. Shall we put that to a vote? Shall we make it a nonconfidence vote? #politics #energy #Canada #hypocrisy #transportation #government

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
