PNWER's Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (RIA)The Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) was 1 of 5 recipients from across the U.S. selected for the Department of Transportation Build America Bureau’s Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (RIA) demonstration program. PNWER has now established a Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (PNWER RIA) to serve as a convener for transportation projects in the region, specifically multistate and multi-jurisdictional initiatives that are needed, but lack funding for completion.
The PNWER RIA does not directly finance infrastructure projects. Instead, it brings together policy, finance, and transportation experts to help states, tribes, and local communities identify traditional and innovative methods of financing and bundling projects to get them over the finish line. Instead, the PNWER RIA helps identify Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) and federal financing opportunities to accelerate the delivery of transportation projects with region-wide benefits that ease supply chain disruptions, reduce transportation-related pollution, and increase economic and environmental justice, especially for historically underserved communities. |
