Smart Vehicles, Smart Roads: Future-proofing Infrastructure for Autonomous Vehicles
Virtual
December 9, 2025
2 pm
This session will help cities understand how accelerating adoption of autonomous vehicles by mobility providers, freight and delivery services, and consumers will create challenges and opportunities for city infrastructure systems. Participants will hear from transportation officials in cities where AVs are already operating in substantial numbers about the long-term issues raised by ongoing rollouts including: conflicts with vulnerable road users, impacts on traffic flow and congestion, shifts in time and location of EV charging demand, and data resources and needs for informed planning. The discussion will highlight where cities should consider AVs in infrastructure planning today and key areas of uncertainty where cities should maintain flexibility to adapt as AV-related impacts, risks, and opportunities become clearer in the future.

Executive Orders and Federal Grants – What You Need to Know
Virtual
December 16, 2025
12 – 1:30 pm (includes a 30 minute Q&A)
Join BFS Strategic Partners for “Executive Orders and Federal Grants – What You Need to Know ".
Executive Orders (EOs) can reshape grant requirements and priorities overnight, sometimes without directly changing a single regulation. In this session, we’ll break down what EOs are, how they influence federal grant policy, and why understanding their impact is critical for compliance. Using recent and historical examples, we’ll show how EOs have affected procurement rules, eligibility criteria, reporting requirements, and funding priorities. Participants will learn how to identify relevant EOs, assess their compliance implications, and implement proactive strategies to mitigate risk, adjust budgets, and maintain alignment with shifting federal priorities. They’ll walk away with practical tools for monitoring EO changes, building flexibility into programs and budgets, and communicating effectively with funding partners.
