Abstract

This Special Issue of Public Works Management & Policy (PWMP) commemorates the 20^th Anniversary of the partnering of the Section on Transportation Policy and Administration (STPA) of the American Society of Public Administration with PWMP. The goal of STPA is to organize a policy focus on transportation while PWMP is a peer-reviewed journal for academics and practitioners that addresses the planning, financing, development, and operations of civil infrastructure systems at all levels of society-federal, state, and local. The STPA-PWMP partnership brings together transportation policy researchers and practitioners with an internationally recognized medium to showcase their work. The seven articles in this Special Anniversary Issue represent a small but exemplary sampling of the transportation policy research being carried out by STPA members. This special issue is particularly timely as it dovetails nicely with President Biden’s signing of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law on Nov. 15, 2021.
