The Mayors Innovation Project celebrates Infrastructure Week!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, from May 13-17, was Infrastructure Week! To commemorate, the Mayors Innovation Project <[link removed]>, alongside sister organization the Smart Transportation Initiative <[link removed]>, co-released a blog urging cities to prioritize safety investments in streets for pedestrians and cyclists. The United States is currently experiencing a record number of pedestrian fatalities, and traditional traffic safety programs are not delivering the necessary results. This blog delves into this critical issue, including the recent influx of federal spending and how infrastructure projects prioritizing pedestrian and cyclist safety support mayors in telling better stories about the impact of these investments.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Wednesday, May 22 from 1-2pm CT, the State Smart Transportation Initiative <[link removed]> will be hosting a webinar: Expanding Transportation’s Role in the Clean Energy Transition. The renewable energy transition and the electrification of transportation are adding significant demand to our nation’s electricity grid. This webinar offers attendees an opportunity to learn from The Ray – a leading non-profit organization advancing net zero infrastructure—and the Minnesota DOT about how DOT’s are being asked to support expanded electricity transmission to incorporate renewable resources, serve new loads (especially for EV charging), and improve grid reliability.
