For Transportation Infrastructure, Look to Cities to Do It Right
2021 brings the promise of a major evolution in our nation's transportation infrastructure. From funding to policy, signaled changes in the interactions between federal and local government will catalyze smarter, cleaner and more resilient transportation solutions. Cities will become more important than ever. As rhetoric from the Biden administration leading up to the inauguration suggested, cities are best positioned to execute this task. Some have already jumped at the opportunity to boldly lead.
Entering the age of community-built infrastructure
A P3 structured with a PMO, or a P4, alleviates funding, time, and structure constraints for leaders to achieve complex goals related to infrastructure, innovation, and inclusion. The P4 organization integrates community stakeholder perspectives and a cross-functional team of professionals to reduce upfront costs and improve accountability, decision making, and implementation speed across the infrastructure value chain.
Cities can leverage program management to drive smart solutions
As we look toward 2050, our local governments' infrastructure needs are growing in complexity and cost. A focus on smart city technologies makes it easier to identify relevant and available community solutions. State and local governments have an immediate need for more aggressive regional smart city infrastructure efforts, and independently established smart city programs guided by specialized management teams can meet this need.
