On June 9th, IL-ITE hosted a luncheon featuring Holly Bieneman from the Illinois Department of Transportation. The luncheon was held at Francesca's on Chestnut in downtown Chicago in the Mag Mile area, and consisted of networking, a presentation from Holly, and some excellent Italian comfort food.
Holly is the Director of the Office of Planning and Programming at the Illinois Department of Transportation, and she led a discussion on upcoming developments on the planning front. Topics included the future of EV infrastructure systems on our roadways, revenue streams in a changing funding model, governmental staffing in a post-covid world, and more. The luncheon was open to questions, and there were no shortage of them!
We thank Holly for presenting to our section, and thank everyone who attended for making a pleasant and informative luncheon on a sunny Thursday afternoon.
