The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the INVEST in American Act, a $715 billion surface transportation reauthorization bill dedicated to investing in public transit resources. Over the next five years, this bill intends to support regional economies by creating jobs, advancing the transportation framework and addressing climate concerns.

To examine the effects of this policy, we will be hosting “Investing in American Transit,” our upcoming webinar on Tuesday, August 10th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET).

If signed into law, this bill will allocate funding for bridges, train stations, tunnels, public transportation, state of good repair backlog (SOGR) and passenger and freight rail. During this discussion, we will explore the economic implications of this the INVEST in America Act using the REMI economic model.

A global minimum tax on corporations has been agreed upon by 130 nations as part of a broader agreement to reexamine international tax guidelines. Upon implementation, large corporations would directly contribute to the economic growth of the nations they operate in through changes in tax revenues.

We invite you to join us for “The Broader Implications of the Global Minimum Tax,” our upcoming webinar on Thursday, August 5th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET).

During this discussion, we will forecast the fiscal and economic implications of a 15% global minimum tax on revenue and economic growth using the REMI Tax-PI economic model.

Public transit systems contribute directly to the health of local, state, regional, and national economies by providing a commuting alternative for workers and consumers, which generates a wide array of important economic, social, and environmental impacts.

We invite you to join us for “The Economic, Social, and Environmental Impacts of Transit Infrastructure on Regional Economies,” our special guest webinar on <Thursday, August 26 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET) featuring Federico Garcia, Ph.D., Managing Director at KPMG.

As stakeholders continue to demand that the public and private sectors address social inequalities amidst the shifting emphasis towards clean energy, it is vital to discern the economic, social, and environmental impacts of transit investments. During this presentation, Dr. Garcia and I will quantify these impacts using the REMI model.

Especially with the federal government expected to boost infrastructure spending, planners need to analyze how potential transit projects shape regional economies, influence labor markets, impact different demographic groups, and affect emissions of carbon dioxide and a variety of pollutants. Included in this presentation will be an overview of three case studies that forecast the impacts of transit investments on these metrics in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area over a 10-year period.
