How Austin Builds Community While Building Roads

What is Austin’s plan to address affordability while strengthening its roads, rail, and airport? Create a first-of-its-kind Infrastructure Academy to train thousands of local residents! Through local and federal investments in transformative regional construction infrastructure, Austin is tackling affordability challenges by creating family-supporting jobs and sustainable career pathways, all while enhancing regional mobility. Learn how Austin is doing it, what a sector partnership is, and how you can engage employers, education, and elected leaders to do it too!
