With passage of a new transportation authorization act and a increase in funds available for the federal TIFIA (Transportation Infrastructure and Innovation Act) Program, a webinar being hosted by the National Highway Institute now takes on more importance.

The webinar, to be held on July 11th from 130-330 is designed to help local officials and transportation planners and leaders gain an understanding of the program, whose objective is to leverage federal dollars to attract private investment.

You can sign up for the webinar here.
