Labor shortages have added to the slow-down of the process. \u201cThe state agencies have to assign the contracts and they&#8217;re short-staffed; consultants have to do their work and they&#8217;re short-staffed; and then the contractors have to get their work done and they\u2019re short-staffed. But it\u2019s coming around and we\u2019re starting to see more and more construction going on everywhere.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Corey also talks about the importance of public engagement, the effectiveness of holding virtual community meetings, and the technology now being used to help motorists and pedestrians visualize and understand infrastructure projects. In one such project, IMEG created a 3D rendering and flyover video (above at right) showing a combine easily moving through a proposed rural roundabout. This allayed farmers\u2019 concerns by allowing them to \u201csee that the intersection was going to function just fine with something as big as a combine going through it.\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imegcorp.com\/insights\/blog\/animations-and-3d-renderings-can-increase-public-engagement\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">(Learn more.)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As for the future, Corey says to expect more electric vehicle charging stations popping up along the highways, and, someday, the rise of drones as a means of personal conveyance and commerce. \u201cI don&#8217;t know what that&#8217;s going to do to the infrastructure, but it\u2019ll be kind of exciting to see how it\u2019s going to go.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Listen to the podcast:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" title=\"Transportation market update: Infrastructure bill projects ramp up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?i=a9c66-143b783-pb&amp;from=pb6admin&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=1&amp;font-color=&amp;logo_link=episode_page&amp;btn-skin=3\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a continuing series of conversations with IMEG market leaders and directors, Corey Stout discusses the transportation market with host Joe Payne.
