Why Join Our Coalition?

Joining the NextGen Highways Coalition offers members a chance to actively shape the future of infrastructure development in the U.S. As a member, you’ll have opportunities to engage with policymakers, state DOTs, community groups, and transmission and communications developers, and stay updated on the latest projects and policy developments. Regular virtual meetings will also offer a platform to share insights, best practices, and innovative ideas across states.

Your role as a member is to support these initiatives, provide your organization’s expertise, and help expand the coalition by identifying new members. Together, we can unlock a trillion dollars in private investment, drive economic development, and build a resilient energy and communications backbone for the future.

NextGen Highways Accomplishments

NextGen Highways Mission

• Prepare for the transportation future by integrating electric and communications infrastructure into our existing transportation infrastructure
• Enable a clean energy economy by promoting the electric transmission needed to support a low-cost, reliable and clean grid
• Unleash economic development by removing barriers currently holding back a trillion dollars of private investment — investment that will create new jobs, services, and technologies
• Strengthen national security by constructing an energy and communications backbone that is hardened against everything from severe weather events to cyber attacks
• Improve equity by addressing the enduring air quality impacts of the interstate system — which are disproportionately concentrated in low-income communities and communities of color — and by increasing broadband access in rural and urban communities.
