With Trump returning to the White House this month, the U.S. is closely watching what his second administration means for a long list of issue areas - including transportation policy. His administration will oversee the execution of the last two years of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, along with its billions in remaining funding to be awarded. We expect this upcoming administration to prioritize public-private partnerships, roll back transportation regulations, and deprioritize green infrastructure projects.  Check out our latest blog post here discussing what a second Trump administration means for U.S. transportation policy.  Reach out to contact@policipro.com if you need to keep up-to-date on the latest changes in transportation policy. #policipro #transportation #infrastructure #policy #governmentaffairs #governmentrelations #publicaffairs #politics

With the presidential election only a few months away, the PoliciPro team has been closely watching what VP Kamala Harris and former President Trump have to say about transportation. Both candidates offer very different visions for the future of U.S. transportation policy. We predict that a second Trump administration would focus on cutting regulations and red tape to spur transportation and infrastructure development. Meanwhile, a Harris administration would focus more on expanded federal funding to develop transportation. If you're curious about what else the two presidential contenders have to say about transportation policy, check out our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dGa6whPU #policipro #transportation #policy #kamalaharris #donaldtrump #politics #election2024 #publictransportation #infrastructure

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) across the U.S. has started to eat away at the gas tax used to help fund our roads, bridges, and highways. Although states have embraced new registration fees for EVs as a way to make up lost gas tax revenue, the dream of completely replacing the gas tax as the primary funder of the transportation infrastructure is still incomplete.    Check out our latest blog post to learn more about the impact of EVs on transportation funding: https://lnkd.in/eJYJYaRM Also, if you’re curious about how we can help your organization stay updated on other transportation-related issues email us at contact@policipro.com. #policipro #evs #transportation #politics #legislation #consulting #governmentaffairs #governmentrelations #electricvehicles
