They empower more proactive, automated, strategic, data-driven, and citizen-focused services.

From 22 December 2018 to 25 January 2019 the US government experienced the longest federal government shutdown in its history. This came as a result of a failure by both Republicans and Democrats to agree on $5.8 billion of funding for a wall at the Mexican border - a key promise made by Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. Although the 35-day standoff was eventually ended by the president by signing into law a funding package to temporarily reopen the federal government, congress have yet to broker a compromise on the border wall and the threat of another shutdown remains present.

More state and local governments are prioritizing equity in infrastructure projects to deliver infrastructure that meets the needs of constituents and positively contributes to communities. This shift has created a need for a system that helps organizations develop and adequately measure clear equity goals.

How would you rate the infrastructure in your community? If you’re like most of the respondents in a recent survey conducted by the Center for Digital Government, it could use some help. The good news is that help is on the way in the form of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The challenge is knowing how to navigate federal funding and make sure you’re investing it effectively in your community. During this free webinar hosted by Government Technology and Cartegraph, industry experts will discuss insights into national infrastructure survey results and provide actionable advice to help you make the most of this opportunity.
