Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)’s Post

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is transforming our railroads. We're tackling long-standing rail needs and supporting local communities with safer, more reliable infrastructure.

Investing in America - Build.gov | The White House The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has created over 46,000 awarded projects to enhance economic development, modernize infrastructure assets, and create high paying jobs in the US. Read More

This information is an example of how funding is available to help improve infrastructure across our communities. Build TEAMS of professionals that can help our communities address those concerns that are PSH (Public Safety Hazards). SS4A… Is a Bipartisan bill that is designed to to help improve all Infrastructure…

U.S. Department of Transportation, USDOT Research and Technology, and the Federal Highway Administration have known for over 20 years that safer and more optimized mobility is highly dependent on INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE. Deploying Intelligent Infrastructure, the Roads of the 21st Century will Save lives with every deployment and reverse the 20+ year trends of death. Since 1999: 900,000 Deaths, over 50 Million injuries, and $10+ trillion in economic loss. Intelligent Infrastructure ARPA-I: https://lnkd.in/gw-aWY2s The Federal Infrastructure Bank and infrastructure investors are mobilizing $billions in private capital to build the Roads of the 21st Century. Establishing a North Star is key: JFK did not just say “Give us your ideas”, or let’s do space stuff; he stated we will put a man on the moon. Eisenhower did not focus on how we would build the Interstate Highways; did not worry about the new material sciences, the new machinery, the new technologies, . . . He just led by saying WE HAVE TO BUILD THEM. POC and pilots do not drive innovation and progress. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE (the foundation of ARPA-I) goes well “Beyond Transportation” and will be the brains of our economy. Providing advanced city services, resilient and carbon-free economies, closing the technology divide, enabling autonomous systems, and most important; securing data for people, cities, and governments. Creating millions of new jobs and economic growth nationwide. https://lnkd.in/gMfGAVeT Since its founding in 1950, the National Science Foundation (NSF)  has focused on investments in basic science: TRL 1-4. Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in response to the growing pressures of globalization, the NSF began expanding the range of its research with the SBIR and STTR programs, focused on TRL 5-7. The Autonomy Institute and Private investors are focused on TRL 7-9-MRL. Time to Build the Infrastructure for the Next 100 Years.

It's no secret that American Infrastructure is crumbling, but what is being done to address this issue? Check out our most recent article written by Joseph LeClair to learn a bit more about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and how it could be affecting your city in the years to come! 🌆 ⚡️

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law isn’t just rebuilding America’s aging infrastructure, it’s helping us innovate and modernize all of our transportation systems—making them more affordable, efficient and safe. The technologies we’re developing today will enable a better tomorrow.

🌉 Exciting News for Minnesota & Wisconsin: $1 Billion Grant to Replace John A Blatnik Bridge https://lnkd.in/g-z4UPsV The U.S. Department of Transportation has just awarded a monumental $1.05 billion grant to both Wisconsin and Minnesota. This funding is a significant step forward in replacing the aging John A Blatnik Bridge, a vital connector at the western tip of Lake Superior. 💰 Financial Collaboration: This grant, part of the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects program (INFRA), is an integral element of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Both Wisconsin and Minnesota are contributing $400 million each to this ambitious $1.8 billion project. #InfrastructureDevelopment #USDepartmentOfTransportation #EconomicGrowth #RegionalCollaboration #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw #Minnesota #Wisconsin #LakeSuperior

The future of the Civil Engineering Profession is Very Bright

Thanks for sharing. Yes, this law is a large investment in the Nation’s infrastructure, but it is only 10% of the real investment need. That means that there is a great number (90%) of infrastructure projects that are not going to get done. Is that what we all want? HR 4052, the creation of the Nation’s fifth National Infrastructure Bank, is what is required. The fourth NIB actually built the bulk of America’s infrastructure, including the mobilization for WW II. America needs this new NIB to complement this law and fund ALL infrastructure projects. Let’s do this right and not squander this opportunity. #nationalinfrastructurebank
