RIA Virtual Launch Event | May 9
Event Description: Pacific Northwest Economic Region hosted a virtual launch event for its expanded Regional Infrastructure Accelerator program May 9, 2024. The webinar showcased PNWER’s new projects and how PNWER’s RIA program will assist communities and project sponsors throughout the region over the next 24 months. This technical assistance demonstration program — funded by the US. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Build America Bureau — is the second RIA grant PNWER has received, and will enable expansion of PNWER’s RIA program throughout the five-state region of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Now one of 24 RIA programs in the U.S., the PNWER RIA remains the only one of its kind, setting a precedent for how multi-state approaches to infrastructure investment can remarkably enhance our region’s diverse transportation network.
