The industry is facing a chronic workforce shortag

The industry is facing a chronic workforce shortage. To address the problem, many state DOTs and organizations are developing innovative solutions. Some states, like Illinois and Washington, see investing in women as critical to the infrastructure industry's future.

In Washington State, ANEW, a Seattle-based organization, is dedicated to connecting women to well-paying careers in construction. They achieve this mission by offering a pre-apprenticeship training program.

Illinois is using the catalytic funds made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to draw more women into the industry. Late last month, it was announced that the state would receive $1.3 million in federal grant monies to increase the number of women in the state’s construction sector.

Learn more about both states’ initiatives at the link in our bio.

Each year, Association of Equipment Manufacturers

Each year, Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)’ annual Celebration of Construction on the National Mall showcases dozens of the organization’s members. Over the course of the event, these companies showcase their latest innovations and exhibits to local families, students, and tourists. Attendees are able to ask questions, experience the construction equipment and technology, and, most importantly, visualize themselves as members of the construction workforce. In our latest podcast episode, ITA Publisher Gregory G. Nadeau and President of AEM Megan Tanel explore the current state of the industry and the role AEM plays in diversifying the workforce.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic and rightfully so. The technology is spreading fast, with many industries taking advantage of its capabilities. In a recent policy brief published by @enotrans, report author Renee Autumn Ray explores how AI could change the way we use and deliver transportation. In fact, the technology has the potential to assist with asset management, data analysis, and improve vehicle safety.

#ICYMI, Boston is the first municipality in the nation to pilot e-Ticketing, a paperless, digital process for tracking, documenting and archiving materials tickets.

The idea to adopt the technology came from Roger Fernandes, director of roadway, utilities & transportation infrastructure services at Briggs Engineering, a contractor that provides the city with inspection, testing and construction management services.

After hearing about e-Ticketing’s benefits, which include greater efficiency and increased safety for workers, John Vozzella, chief engineer for Boston Public Works, was completely on board.

As the construction industry continues to evolve, so do the needs of its workforce. In our latest podcast episode, President of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Megan Tanel discusses how her organization is exploring different ways to engage its workforce, particularly its women. By offering services such as daycare or childcare and flexible work hours, organizations can provide a more supportive and inclusive environment where all workers thrive.
