# Setting Infrastructure Priorities: Considerations for the 115th Congress 

Republicans and Democrats agree that more effort should be made to restore America’s infrastructure. But how should we decide what projects are funded? How much should be spent on new infrastructure and how much on reconstruction? How does funding and finance influence priorities?

Join four leading transportation experts in a discussion of highways, transit, high-speed rail, airports and air traffic control, and transportation finance.
