Transportation
BKSH specializes in transportation work. Our practice is founded on experience in the structure and operation of federal transportation programs and the Department of Homeland Security. We represent state departments of transportation with various interests, including:
- Federal highway systems
- Transit authorities
- Motor carrier programs
- Highway safety
- Pipeline
- Hazardous materials
- Aviation and transportation security programs
- Private sector businesses involved with virtually every mode of transportation
An area of expertise that we have grown in recent years is the dynamic transportation security sector, which includes infrastructure protection, technology marketing and the regulations and structure of the Department of Homeland Security. BKSH provides policy guidance on legislation and regulations to achieve specific client objectives. In addition, the firm is equally qualified to assist in the advancement of specific infrastructure projects through appropriations, authorization or federal agency funds.
The BKSH transportation team, led by Becky B. Weber, actively monitors and participates in the policy development and activities of several transportation industry groups.
Another important dimension to achieving many clients’ goals is to build and manage political and policy support at not only the federal level, but also the state and local levels. Garnering support at the various levels of government to bolster a federal government relations effort has become a necessary ingredient in the formula for winning legislative and regulatory campaigns.
BKSH brings longstanding state government capabilities through our many years of service to clients. We provide clients with issues management and analysis, strategic political and policy counsel and hands-on political mobilization at the state and local levels.
