New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Priya Jain will discuss transportation infrastructure, investment and project opportunities during a New Jersey Alliance for Action program on Thursday, June 11.
The event, “The Inside Scoop with NJ Department of Transportation Commissioner Priya Jain,” is scheduled from 8 to 11 a.m. at Forsgate Country Club, 375 Forsgate Drive, Monroe Township.
Jain is expected to discuss what is ahead for transportation infrastructure in New Jersey and how the state is approaching investment in the systems people and businesses rely on throughout the region. She was appointed commissioner of the DOT by Gov. Mikie Sherrill.
Jain is a civil engineer and infrastructure executive with experience in public-sector transportation and private-sector project delivery. She has worked on major infrastructure, environmental and transportation projects and brings engineering and management experience to the state’s transportation network.
The discussion comes as transportation agencies continue to balance major capital needs with concerns about congestion, freight movement, transit reliability, road and bridge conditions, and long-term funding. For business leaders, contractors, engineers and local officials, NJDOT decisions can affect project pipelines, development timelines, commuting patterns and the movement of goods throughout New Jersey.
Tickets are $125 for Alliance members and $350 for nonmembers. Sponsorships are available.More information is available at allianceforaction.com.
