Washington State Senator Marko Liias on Expediting Infrastructure Projects
Idea Category: Infa, Infrastructure
Washington State Senator Marko Liias’ bill to expedite infrastructure projects just passed the Washington State Senate 48-1. The bill would allow the Washington State Department of Transportation to use different financing and delivery methods to shorten project timelines and reduce costs. Pennsylvania and Virginia, which instituted similar policies, have reduced their costs and timelines significantly for infrastructure projects like highways and bridges. Liias emphasized the need for change, stating, “We cannot afford business as usual when it comes to transportation projects. Our costs are rising too fast, and projects are taking too long to finish.”
