Congressional representatives this week announced the creation of a new House caucus that will focus on building and maintaining the nation’s transportation infrastructure through the increase of public private partnerships across the country.
The Congressional Caucus on Public Private Partnerships is a bi-partisan group formed by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) and Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). The caucus aims to raise awareness of the use of public private partnerships to address a range of transportation infrastructure issues, as state transportation departments are utilizing these partnerships to deal with smaller budgets, rising costs, and growing infrastructure needs.
