Transit Infrastructure Management
Modernizing Public Transit at Scale
Reliable Public Transporation and Infrastructure
Transit systems across the United States are deteriorating, and agencies running their services and structures often lack the infrastructure funds to keep even existing systems functioning. For the past several decades, federal funding for mass public transit has decreased by 40% -- and our nation’s infrastructure and economies have suffered as a result. The reality is, transportation is the foundation of America’s economic activity, whether it’s our workforce commuting or the transfer of commercial goods and supplies.
In a turn of the tide, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIL) authorizes up to $108 billion worth of capital improvements to mass transportation, from tackling Amtrak’s repair backlog to building and rebuilding multimodal public transit hubs nationwide.
Watch: Gain Confidence in Managing Your Infrastructure Projects with e-Builder
For the past several decades, federal funding has decreased by 40% for public transit projects.
This unprecedented funding opportunity presents a significant challenge to public transit systems and processes for managing infrastructure projects, often which are holdovers from days of tight budgets and lean operations. When budgets are suddenly and dramatically increased, and multiple projects must begin simultaneously, “we’ve always done it this way” is no longer a viable solution.
It's a Whole New Playing Field for Transportation Infrastructure
As the Bipartisan Infrastructure plan evolves, everyone from engineers to project managers can expect a heightened level of scrutiny as federal funding increases significantly. For your transit program, expect to provide:
- Proof of the efficiency and value of transit projects
- Complete transparency into the stewardship of infrastructure funds
- Proof of job creation, socioeconomic impact, and sustainability success
- Accountability for every project task, dollar, and outcome
Having the right partner and transportation infrastructure tools in place to accurately track costs, report progress and manage the project lifecycle will be critical.
