America is entering an era in which transportation planners and engineers can have a greater impact than ever before. In Washington, transportation funding is high on the legislative agenda, and the new USDOT leadership is advancing a transformative agenda with equity and the environment at the forefront. Meanwhile, technological innovations are giving engineers entirely new tools to envision, integrate and optimize transportation systems – which will soon include additional modes of transport. Beth Kigel, who spearheads Smart and Connected Solutions for HNTB, synthesizes these diverse elements to offer a view of what’s ahead for those who will build tomorrow’s transportation infrastructure. In this dynamic and inspiring presentation, Beth challenges us to step beyond existing paradigms – to innovate and collaborate in new ways – as we strive to deliver enhanced mobility and opportunity for all Americans.
