A Fresh Look at the Federal Role—Do We Need Washington in Transportation?
What is the federal government’s real role in transportation infrastructure vis-à-vis the states? What is the public sector’s role vis-à-vis the private sector? Speakers will discuss these relationships in the context of national planning and priorities, funding and financing, and safety and stability, and the challenges of adopting “one size fits all” models across modes.
