Despite America moving forward on a historic, $1.2 trillion federal investment in infrastructure, Brian Turmail isn’t ready yet to raise the victory flag. He wants to see the wheels of government move faster so construction can get started quicker on vital transportation projects.
“There’s a real urgency here. Whether it’s driving to work, driving your kids to school, going to the grocery store, or shopping online, it’s costing us a lot more than if we had a better transportation network,” says Turmail, who is Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Initiatives with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC).
The modernization of America’s infrastructure may not be a topic that automatically generates a lot of ongoing buzz, but its value is immeasurable. Our nation won’t be competitive on the world stage without the rebuilding, reshaping and restarting of our transportation grid.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is a milestone federal investment policy that was passed by Congress in 2021 to overhaul and update America’s infrastructure — including airports, bridges, ports, rail, roads, transit systems and waterways.
