Abstract

The 2016 US Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump described renewing ‘America’s crumbling infrastructure’ with an extensive program for transportation, water, power grids, telecommunications, security, and other facilities. The program includes incentive-based contracting, jobs creation that leads to increased tax revenues, and attention to reducing waste in procurement. This editorial outlines how key differences between campaigning and governance can affect Presidential transitions for areas such as developing infrastructure policy. The editorial then outlines strategies that can assist with the selection and implementation of infrastructure improvement projects for the Trump Administration moving forward.
