Infrastructure – Does Biden’s Path to Bipartisanship Start with Infrastructure?

As a candidate, Joe Biden promised he would prioritize rebuilding America’s middle class and often that starts with job creation to build critical infrastructure. Are there significant achievements in infrastructure policy Biden can enact in his first 100 days? What does former presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg’s appointment to Secretary of Transportation mean for the industry? What role can companies have in shaping that policy? How will the president’s vision for a greener future for American energy impact infrastructure, at least initially?

In the second episode of Insider Insights: 100 Days of Biden, Jim Wiltraut and Terry Heubert, Principals in Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney’s Government Relations Practice Group, dive into what President Biden’s first 100 days will look like for those businesses and organizations that occupy the transportation and infrastructure sectors.

As part of this episode, Terry and Jim cover:

- Chair of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Peter DeFazio’s plan for infrastructure and whether it can be an early bipartisan win for the Biden administration

- Pete Buttigieg’s qualifications for Secretary of Transportation and what the department may look like under his lead

- If and how private business can influence legislation in transportation and infrastructure in President Joe Biden’s first 100 days

- Congressional earmarks, whether they return under a democrat-led congress, whether that’s a good idea and how it gets done

- COVID-19’s impact on infrastructure and transportation, especially as it relates to airports and airlines
