Newswise — EVANSTON Ill. --- With the tax overhaul set in motion, Congress and the Trump administration have set their sights on infrastructure reform. Northwestern University’s Joseph Schofer is a leading academic specialist on transportation policy who can speak about infrastructure system investments and operations.
Quote from Professor Schofer:
“The balance between fixing what we have and building new is always a problem for political decision-makers. We need to come up with ceremonies and ribbon cuttings for infrastructure rehabilitation – get that bridge rehabilitation project on the 10 o’clock news and celebrate the fact that we have restored its functionality for the good of the community.”
Schofer is a professor of civil and environmental engineering in the McCormick School of Engineering, a transportation committee member for the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and host of “The Infrastructure Show" podcast.
He can be reached at 847-220-7925 and [email protected].
