Industry experts, calling for a major overhaul of the country’s transportation infrastructure, stress the need to invest heavily in the nation’s travel ways, in some cases as much as $225 billion annually just for highways.

Decisive action is needed now, according to a report released by the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. The report states that the country must take significant measures to create and sustain our transportation system, because "the future of our Nation’s well-being, vitality, and global economic leadership is at stake."

With so much at stake, CMAA\'s Transportation Summit, held in Los Angeles on July 20-21, will showcase ways in which owners and CMs can effectively manage the enormous transportation infrastructure investments the future will demand.

"This summit will bring together the experts in the field of Transportation Construction Management," said Bruce D’Agostino, CMAA CEO & President. "CMAA members – both owners and CMs – are the leading authority on how to complete these projects on time and on budget. They know what works."

Co-hosted by CMAA’s Southern California, Northern California and San Diego Chapters, the Society of American Military Engineers, the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association and the Women\'s Transportation Seminar, the Summit will provide participants with several opportunities for educational sessions. These sessions are divided into two tracks – emerging trends and best practices – with a focus on transportation Construction Management of airways, highways, ports/harbors/waterways and transit/rail.
