The Changing Landscape of Transportation Infrastructure: Government Officials on Improving Quality Standards, Upgrading Safety Mechanisms, and ... across a National System (Inside the Minds) / Aspatore Books Staff

The Changing Landscape of Transportation Infrastructure is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the strategic thinking behind redeveloping our nation's transportation system. Featuring state and federal directors of transportation from across the country, this book provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the challenges unique to creating and maintaining our roads, bridges, and waterways. These leaders articulate the finer points of developing quality structural standards and ensuring safe travel throughout the country, from establishing funding programs for improvements and prioritizing projects to scheduling regular inspections and keeping the public informed of changing conditions. Additionally, the authors discuss the varying transportation needs of urban versus rural areas as well as the challenges of regaining public trust despite negative media attention. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds in government today, as these experts explore the network of organizations that literally keep our nation on the move.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
