About the Event

The Biden Administration and Congress have put the Transportation Department at the center of several national priorities such as rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure and addressing the dangers of climate change. There also are initiatives around equity, safety and transformation.

The result is an energized department that needs contractor support to deliver on a wide range of projects coming from its headquarters as well as its component agencies.

The Transportation Department houses other agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to name just a handful.

All of the Transportation is looking to modernize their current operations as well as take on a broader set of goals around equity, sustainability and efficiency.

In this Power Breakfast we’ll dive into the opportunities for government contractors and the best ways to work with the Transportation Department.
