Jennifer Aument leads the development and operations of major toll roads in North America on behalf of Transurban – one of the largest infrastructure developers in the world and a market leader in private-private partnerships. She will discuss the role the private sector can play in driving job creation and innovation through the delivery of transportation infrastructure as policy leaders look toward economic recovery, including:
- How can we learn from the past to ensure a modern infrastructure stimulus will provide long lasting economic benefits?
- How can federal and local governments unlock capital in latent assets to rebuild modern infrastructure?
- How can federal loan programs like TIFIA protect jobs and support economic recovery?
- What does the future now hold for vehicle miles traveled, user-pay systems and the potential for sustainable infrastructure funding sources?
