INDUSTRY INSIGHT
U.S. says New York, New Jersey must pay more for 'Gateway' project
New York and New Jersey must shoulder more of the costs to build a transportation tunnel under the Hudson River, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said on Tuesday while confirming that the Trump administration was opposed to Congress financing the project.
DOT Awards $487M in Latest TIGER Grant Round
Engineering News-Record
The U.S. Dept. of Transportation has awarded $487.1 million to 41 highway, bridge, rail and other projects-a majority of them in rural areas-in the latest round of the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program. The Trump administration proposed zeroing out funds for TIGER in fiscal 2018, but an industry source says Congress is likely to reject the proposal when a 2018
omnibus spending package emerges, perhaps in late March.
Murphy unveils $161M in Municipal Aid grants for transportation projects
NJBIZ
Gov. Phil Murphy has announced the largest amount for Municipal Aid grant awards in New Jersey Department of Transportation history, crediting the recent gas tax increase with more than doubling the amount of funds for local road and bridge safety improvement projects. More than $161 million is being awarded in Fiscal Year 2018 to 505 New Jersey communities, according to Murphy's office.
Community Solar Shares the Sun, Savings on Electric Bills
NJ Spotlight
It is perhaps the fastest-growing segment of the solar sector, but not in New Jersey, a state that has embraced the technology as much as nearly any other.
Proponents, however, have slipped a provision establishing ''community solar'' into a controversial nuclear subsidy bill, among other clean-energy initiatives that have been lumped into the legislation - at least for now.
Drones Could Team Up to Rescue People in Danger
engineering.com
New developments in drone technology may soon make it possible for them to work together to save lives.
Drones, once deployed mostly for military purposes, are becoming increasingly useful away from the battlefield, including public safety, construction and recreational use. But a significant limiting factor to drone use is their inability to lift heavy objects. While they are prized for their portability and maneuverability, drones can carry very little by themselves.
