Enactment of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides a historic opportunity to upgrade our transportation, water, energy, and communications networks to improve the quality of life for all Americans. The programs and projects funded over the next five years will facilitate the efficient movement of people and goods, improve safety, provide clean water, enhance environmental clean-up and mitigation, address the impacts of climate change, and provide new economic development opportunities for our communities.
America’s engineering industry is committed to delivering these promised benefits. Successful implementation of IIJA programs is going to require a strong partnership between federal, state, and local agencies and the private sector, and a commitment from policymakers to sustain the committed funds and make policy adjustments where necessary to respond to changing conditions.
