“We’re anticipating money for airports …There have been no details yet, but we are anticipating a robust infrastructure package.”
This episode is an update to our pre-election conversation with Sam Whitehorn, episode 112 released on October 29, 2020.
The election is, well, likely almost over. Most of the prominent races that featured candidates with a history of supporting transportation funding were won by the incumbent candidate. The election of Joe Biden likely means negotiations with Congress will be at least a bit calmer over the next four years. And, even if the Georgia Senate run-offs in January result in divided government, infrastructure is generally a bipartisan issue, with influential members of both parties in favor of putting money into projects in all phases of transportation, including airports.
