Infrastructure Week May 15 to 19, 2017 infrastructureweek.org | #InfrastructureMatters

Infrastructure Week 2017

Infrastructure Week convenes the nation’s largest and most diverse infrastructure advocacy coalition to tell the story of how and why #InfrastructureMatters to all Americans – to our jobs and business competitiveness, to our security, health and safety, and to the strength of our communities. Convened by America’s leading business, labor, government, and thought-leadership organizations, Infrastructure Week is a non-partisan platform engaging all stakeholders – from inside the infrastructure sector to the users and suppliers of transportation, water, energy, and digital systems.

Infrastructure Week enters 2017 – its fifth year – poised to shape the policy agenda of a new congress and Administration – an Administration committed to action on infrastructure investment early in its first year. Infrastructure Week’s coalition of more than 150 organizations will be actively engaged throughout the transition and will provide a stage for national leaders in the White House, Congress, and state houses around America to identify and amplify challenges, opportunities, and priorities. We welcome you to join us as we set a new standard for partnership-building, public engagement, and issue advocacy to drive national leaders to invest in America’s infrastructure, economy, and future.

Looking to 2017

From May 15 to 19, 2017, Infrastructure Week will convene national policymakers – from the White House to Congress to federal agencies – and a diverse chorus of voices from industries and communities around the nation, from the construction, manufacturing, retail, and travel sectors to governors, mayors, and state legislators; community organizers and foundations; trade associations, labor groups, and private citizens.

Through events, education and advocacy, the press, and social media, Infrastructure Week 2017 will provide a national stage for policy-makers and the public to address head-on the challenges facing U.S. infrastructure, to move beyond short-term fixes and deferred maintenance, and to envision the innovative solutions, technologies, policies and investments that will bring America’s aging infrastructure into the 21st century.

Infrastructure Week is non-partisan and inclusive of a broad spectrum of sectors, including transportation, water, energy, digital systems and smart cities. Infrastructure Week 2017 will highlight cross-cutting issues including funding and finance; public health, safety, and security; technology innovation and regulation; and economic opportunity.

“Let me give you an American priority – one shared by working people and

business leaders everywhere… big public investments in America’s

infrastructure: roads, bridges, sewers, pipelines, transit, waterways, ports,

electrical grid, internet and phone lines, and drinking water. These investments

benefit everybody, create jobs, and build America.

Richard Trumka

President, AFL-CIO
