Description

Transportation mega projects have become increasingly more common and complex, resulting in the need for public agencies—and their private contractors—to properly plan for and address unique challenges associated with such projects. This session will introduce and define the legal concepts associated with transportation mega projects, including governance, funding, and financing opportunities and requirements, and address best practices for project delivery, procurement, contracting, and implementation. In doing so, the session will draw lessons from existing projects.  

Listen as our panel of experts offers insights and lessons learned for practitioners advising surface transportation agencies and their counterparts on developing, procuring, and managing mega projects.
