The $1.2 trillion infr astructure bill touches so many critical systems—roads and bridges, passeng er and freight railways, waterways, mass transit, ports and airports, the w ater supply, and even broadband access—that it can be hard to wrap your hea d around its potential impact. The bill represents a historic investment in our nation’s infrastructure, as well as a tremendous opportunity for Color ado’s A/E/C industry.
To help us better understand the full scope and impact of the bill, SMPS Colorado has assembled a virtual panel of industr y professionals who will share their insights into the bill, in particular the types of projects it will support, and offer their thoughts on how atte ndees can take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. The pane l will also discuss the impacts of Senate Bill 260 (Sustainability of the Transportation System) and the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap.
