Earlier this year, I had the privilege of moderating a roundtable discussion at the United States Conference of Mayors Washington D.C. meeting titled "Empowering Resilient Communities: Infrastructure Projects Fueling Real Results." I was proud to be joined by Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. Infrastructure advocacy has been a common thread in my career, from my years in local government as Chief of Staff to Mayor Dyer, to my federal service at the U.S. Department of Transportation (Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Railroad Administration), to now working for a technology company, SiemensUSA. And what I heard from the mayors during the roundtable has shaped my thinking for 2024 when it comes to this powerful moment for American infrastructure, as a trifecta of federal legislation and additional funding programs shift us from advocacy to implementation.

“That critical program evaluation can bend a policy’s trajectory from permanence toward repeal reiterates that information does have the capacity to shape choices made at some decision junctures in the policy process.” Read FULL article here: https://lnkd.in/gX3PaHPg #PSJ #PolicyStudiesJournal

Can you imagine a major European city, where it would be inappropriate to increase the modal share of public transport or of active modes? Apparently, the EU legislators can, as they added "where appropriate" to article 41 (Additional priorities for urban nodes), point (e) of the revised TEN-T regulation (article 41 (d) in the original Commission proposal). Don't take me wrong, it's not a bad regulation, but the concentration of "where appropriate", "where relevant" etc. in the (almost) final text is somewhat comical.

Local Government Recruiter specialising in interim leadership roles within the Built Environment, Community and Social Services.
In this episode, I sit down with Scott Tompkins, an expert in Highways, Transport, and Place, to delve into three critical issues facing the Place Agenda with Local Authorities. Finances: The impact of austerity on local authority budgets, the rise of S114 notices, and the difficult balance between statutory duties and ‘nice-to-haves’. We discuss how authorities are stretching capital spending guidelines to cover revenue needs, and the long-term consequences for infrastructure resilience. Resources: The growing skills shortage across local authority roles, particularly in highways planning. Scott highlights the struggle to recruit and retain skilled staff, the over-reliance on agency workers, and the innovative approaches some councils are taking to develop their own talent pipelines. Decarbonisation and Climate Change: The financial and resource constraints that impact the pace of decarbonisation efforts. Scott discusses the balance between immediate actions and long-term investments, the role of new technologies, and the importance of developing comprehensive decarbonisation plans. We also explore initiatives like tree planting and the use of renewable energy sources to reduce carbon footprints. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these complex issues and hear Scott’s expert perspective on potential solutions and future directions for local authorities. Truth about local government

Yesterday evening, Greater Vancouver Board of Trade President & CEO Bridgitte Anderson, ICD.D testified before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications to discuss the impacts of climate change on critical infrastructure in the #GreaterVancouver region. Businesses across Canada rely on well-functioning and predictable supply chains and transportation networks for exporting and accessing imports. Our international reputation as a trading partner also depends on the resilience of these networks. With that in mind, Bridgitte, on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, presented several key recommendations to the government: - Develop a national infrastructure strategy and plan prioritizing infrastructure of national significance that requires increased resilience or new infrastructure to support our growth. - While there has been some federal progress in this area, it has been gradual and lacking clarity on priorities, delaying crucial infrastructure developments. - Collaborate with the private sector to address issues including data gaps, flood mapping and wildfire risk management. - Ensure that policies promote a competitive investment climate, allowing for necessary upgrades and new infrastructure while recognizing trade-offs. For example, telecommunications companies have a couple of “mainline” connections/interchanges between Alberta and B.C. building resiliency means less capital for new network capabilities or other priorities. So there are real tradeoffs and governments should take a light touch and collaborate with industry on the approach. - Speed up infrastructure permitting processes. - The current permitting timelines in Canada are excessively long and hindering of any progress. Expedited permitting not only saves costs but also enables more construction. - B.C.’s rapid and record-breaking reconstruction of the Coquihalla highway serves as a testament to what can be achieved with a more enabling environment. Why can we not find a similar urgency and collaboration more often? - Align funding for climate-resilient infrastructure with the level of population growth. - By addressing population growth and climate challenges collectively through coordinated funding, we can ensure the ongoing strength and adaptability of our infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of our expanding communities. - We also need federal leadership in partnering with Indigenous communities in disaster management. Such partnership is an essential component of our national transportation ecosystem. Watch the committee hearing here: https://lnkd.in/gUn6xxMY During the Q&A Bridgitte shared the results from our recent report on the Industrial Land Shortage and its rising impact on Greater Vancouver businesses.

The Transportation Commission has voted to advance a pair of options for possible toll-rate adjustments on the State Route 520 bridge this summer. The toll rate changes are being considered for the currently tolled bridge. The two options are: ◼️ An across-the-board 10 percent toll rate increase for all times of the day and days of the week, with increases that range from $0.15 to $0.45 depending on the time of day/day of the week. ◼️ A tailored toll-rate increase averaging 10 percent overall, with fewer rate variations and adjustments ranging from a decrease of $0.10 to an increase of $0.70, depending on the time of day/day of the week. The Commission will get further analysis on the rate increases and release a survey for public input this spring. To learn more, see: ◼️ The presentation to commissioners on the rate adjustments: https://lnkd.in/etNr8q43 ◼️ The livestream of the meeting from TVW Washington's Public Affairs Network: https://lnkd.in/eVZwaf6V
