About the Workshop: Join us for an exclusive opportunity to hear directly from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau. The Pacific Northwest Economic Region’s Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (PNWER RIA) is excited to present the first in a new webinar series focused on navigating the USDOT’s innovative financing tools.

This session will provide a high-level overview of key federal transportation grant and credit programs, and highlight the Bureau’s technical assistance resources and upcoming funding opportunities. Learn how innovative financing tools, public-private partnerships and alternative project delivery models can help bring major infrastructure projects to life across the Pacific Northwest.
