Doing More with Less: Maintenance-Oriented Strategies for Transportation Improvements
DATE: Friday, April 12, 2024
TIME: 12:00 – 1:00 PM EDT
FORMAT: VIRTUAL Zoom webinar
DESCRIPTION: The issue of maintenance—and notably, deferred maintenance—stands as a pivotal challenge confronting public agencies who are looking to modernize their infrastructure. These agencies often do not have a complete picture of their maintenance liabilities and typically lack comprehensive inventories of their assets. Yet, even when such inventories exist, there is frequently a gap in understanding the full value of these assets, especially when it comes to identifying which ones are underutilized and possess untapped potential. This webinar will discuss maintenance-oriented strategies public agencies can utilize to tackle deferred maintenance and maximize value from their transportation infrastructure portfolios.
SPEAKER: Dr. Carter B. Casady is a Research Engineer in the Center for Sustainable Development and Global Competitiveness at Stanford University and a non-resident Senior Fellow in the Center for Transportation Public-Private Partnership Policy at George Mason University. As part of the Stanford Long Term Investing (SLTI) initiative, his research broadly focuses on the governance of long-term investments in infrastructure, particularly via public-private partnerships (PPPs). Prior to re-joining Stanford, Dr. Casady served as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Economics and Finance in the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at University College London (UCL) where he also directed the Infrastructure Investment and Finance MSc program. He earned his BSc in Policy Analysis and Management from Cornell University as well as his MSc and PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University.
