SUMMARY:Rising Construction Costs: Implications for Reauthorization
DESCRIPTION: \nSince the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021\, there has been significant growth in highway construction costs. Potential factors for cost escalations include supply chain disruptions\, materials and inputs costs\, labor market shortages\, demand side increases\, number of bidders on projects\, state capacity and reliance on consultants\, borrowing costs\, regulatory costs\, and higher quality projects. \nIn August 2025\, the Eno Center issued a whitepaper entitled “Rising Construction Costs: Analyzing the Contributors to Cost Escalations and the Impact on Federal Transportation Infrastructure Investments\,” exploring competing cost indices\, long-term construction cost trends\, contributing factors to cost escalations\, the impact on federal infrastructure investments\, and implications for future transportation funding. \nThis webinar will feature two speakers: Susan Howard\, from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials\, and Dr. Alison Premo Black\, from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. The panelists will discuss how rising construction costs have impacted their members and how increased costs are influencing their advocacy efforts heading into surface transportation reauthorization. \nPanelists: \nSusan Howard is the Director of Policy and Government Relations at the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO). At AASHTO\, she serves as key liaison between state transportation departments\, Congress\, the U.S. Department of Transportation\, and other national organizations. She has previously served as AASHTO’s Program Director for Transportation Finance and Program Manager for Freight. She has also previously worked as the Director of Government Relations for the National Association of Development Organizations\, as the Federal Programs Coordinator for the North Carolina Department of Transportation\, and as a Legislative Assistant on Capitol Hill. \n  \nDr. Alison Premo Black is the Senior Vice President & Chief Economist at the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). At ARTBA\, she has led the development of over 100 studies on national and state transportation funding and investment patterns. She additionally oversees ARTBA’s membership development and relations and manages the Transportation Investment Advocacy Center program. Before joining ARBTA in 2000\, Black worked as a researcher with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and with the Organization of American States. She is regularly featured as an industry expert in national and local media and publications. \n  \nModerator: \nGrace Truslow\, Policy Analyst\, Eno Center for Transportation

SUMMARY:Looking Down the Tracks: A Case for More Predictable Intercity Passenger Rail Funding
DESCRIPTION:When the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) expires in September 2026\, federal funding for intercity passenger rail could revert to the unstable\, short-term model that historically defined the program. \nFor decades\, federal support for Amtrak has relied primarily on annual appropriations without a dedicated revenue source — creating uncertainty for long-term planning\, capital investment\, and service expansion. The IIJA marked a significant shift\, providing $66 billion for passenger rail over five years and introducing a more predictable federal commitment. \nIn the recent Eno report\, Looking Down the Tracks: A Case for More Predictable Intercity Passenger Rail Funding\, Rebecca Higgins examines the structural challenges of the past funding model and outlines a path toward a durable\, long-term federal strategy. In this webinar\, hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance\, Higgins shares Eno’s analysis and discusses how a more stable funding framework could improve efficiency\, sustain ridership growth\, and support investments befitting the growing importance of passenger rail in the national transportation system. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:FY27 Budget Breakdown: Impacts on Transportation Policy and Funding
DESCRIPTION:The Trump Administration released its fiscal 2027 budget request on Friday\, which maintains nominal growth in certain transportation programs while allowing a massive effective cut to rail and other programs by not continuing the advance appropriations from IIJA. It also includes a massive increase for the Maritime Administration to lead the President’s shipbuilding initiative. What else is included in the budget\, and what does it mean for reauthorization\, or budget reconciliation plans? In this rapid response webinar for ETW subscribers only\, Eno’s Jeff Davis breaks down the budget proposal and answers these questions and more.\n\nSpeaker:\nJeff Davis\, Senior Fellow and Editor\, Eno Center for Transportation\n\nRegister Now
