At Future Proofing New Zealand: The 2050 Infrastructure Forum, Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop announced bold new rules to let the private sector pitch infrastructure ideas directly to the Government. These “market-led proposals” will follow a streamlined, transparent process through the new National Infrastructure Funding and Financing Ltd (NIFFCo), creating opportunities for innovation and collaboration. “There is no government monopoly on good ideas,” Bishop said, as he cited Auckland's light rail as a lesson in why this change is needed.

CECA: Step-Change Needed In Local Roads Funding In England https://lnkd.in/ewTQZ-xu #roads #infrastructure #LocalRoads #connectivity #construction #transport #UKeconomy

We welcome the NIC’s latest Infrastructure Progress Review, which explicitly calls for a new long-term plan for rail to address capacity and connectivity issues on the network following the cancellation of HS2’s northern leg.   Government’s failure to implement plans for HS2 that have carefully negotiated the Parliamentary approval process is inexplicable. It will hold the country back economically, hinder growth and widen region inequality.   A coherent long term plan for rail investment, including new lines where they offer the best value for money, is needed to address capacity issues that arise both on main line railways, and on the motorways that parallel them. The direction of travel in policy terms must be to attract more car users and more road freight off our motorways and on to better, more reliable, rail services.    We support this NIC report in its view that the need for a comprehensive plan to fix our railway connections is pressing. #rail #railways #infrastructure #lowcarboninfrastructure #connectivitymatters #transportinfrastructure #NationalInfrastructureCommission #railinvestment

🏗️ Aging Infrastructure & Its Impact on Moving Services 🚚 The moving industry is feeling the strain of aging roads and bridges, with 10% more delays reported in 2024 due to infrastructure issues. 🚧 This has sparked a debate about whether governments should prioritize repairs and upgrades to keep moving services efficient and reliable. As companies struggle with logistical challenges, the need for infrastructure investment has never been clearer. Should fixing our roads and bridges be a top priority to support essential industries like moving? Let’s talk! #InfrastructureCrisis #MovingIndustry #LogisticsChallenges #RoadRepairs #InvestInAmerica

🚉 Yesterday marks a historic milestone in American #infrastructure: the Biden-Harris Administration is proud to announce a transformative $11 billion investment in the Hudson River Tunnel Project. This initiative, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will modernize one of the nation's most vital rail corridors, enhancing travel for millions across the Northeast and bolstering our economy. 🚇 The Hudson Tunnel Project will include constructing a new rail tunnel between NYS Department of Transportation and New Jersey Department of Transportation, rehabilitating the damaged North River Tunnel, and fortifying our infrastructure against future challenges like Superstorm Sandy. This initiative underscores our commitment to building resilient, efficient transportation networks that will serve generations to come. 👷 By leveraging billions in grants, this project represents the largest-ever investment from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and showcases our ability to deliver on ambitious infrastructure goals. 🌟 Learn more about how this project will shape the future of transportation in the Northeast and beyond. https://bit.ly/45V4O0i #HudsonTunnelProject #MichelinMobilityIntelligence #BuildingAmerica
