August 22, 2018Position Statement: Transportation and Infrastructure
AIA New York’s position statement on transportation and infrastructure emphasizes the role that the infrastructure systems of New York City play in the nation’s health and vitality, and the importance of federal funding sources to support these systems.
Forward-thinking public growth and development policies and a strong commitment to the ongoing allocation of a dependable stream of federal funding for transportation and infrastructure are essential to avoid huge costs for deferred maintenance or even replacement of systems; to expand networks to support population growth, demographic changes, economic shifts, and related needs for development; and to act on vulnerabilities to our infrastructure from threats and hazards due to climate change, and other unforeseen events.
The position statement includes guiding principles for the planning, provision, and protection of infrastructure.
