Infrastructure Week is back — and no, it’s not just for D.C. insiders and engineers.

This week on Beyond Streets, we’re joined by Ross van Dongen, who wears a lot of hats at United for Infrastructure and Accelerator for America. We get into what’s actually happening on the ground with all the federal dollars flowing into cities.

We talk about:

What a “C” grade on our national infrastructure report card really means
Why those annoying orange cones might be the most hopeful thing you’ll see all week
How cities like Phoenix and Waterloo are making real change — from better transit to cheaper internet
The real barriers to getting money from D.C. to Main Street, and what needs to change

If you’ve ever wondered why infrastructure takes so long — or what you can actually do about it — there's never a better time to start learning than now.

🎧 Tune in and get ready for Infrastructure Week with a helpful perspective on what it means to build a stronger, more connected future.
