AIA to Host Series of Transportation and Community Forums

As a member of Transportation of America, a broad coalition calling for the renewal of our national transportation program for the 21st century, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will be hosting a series of public forums across the country.

Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) has been working with groups like AIA and other stakeholders to encourage public forums that address the growing infrastructure crisis and highlight the many interconnecting infrastructure issues and transportation needs, including the priorities of architects to design sustainable, livable communities.

"We need to make real investments in our nation's transportation infrastructure, and to achieve this we must bring a variety of groups and stakeholders to the table.

It is vital that we engage the public in the discussion over how we design, build, maintain and fund America's roads, rails and public transit systems," said Rep. Blumenauer.

"The AIA's forums are a welcome component of the national debate over our infrastructure challenges and how we can work to rebuild and renew our country."
