Club members can buy $10 tickets to NYT panel on technology and infrastructure, Feb. 27

The New York Times will hold a TimesTalks panel discussion titled “New Technology & America’s Infrastructure” Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 6:30 p.m. at the Carnegie Institution for Science, 1530 P. St., N.W. National Press Club members can buy tickets for $10 rather than the standard $20 here.

Cecilia Kang, technology reporter at the Times, will explore how technological innovations can help revitalize America’s fraying infrastructure.

Will tech advances such as driverless cars, automated freight, high-speed passenger rail and smart power grids lead a transformation of our roads, bridges, rails and cities that most lawmakers and corporate America agree is long overdue?

Joining Kang to assess the possibilities will be Anthony Foxx, chief policy officer, Lyft, and former U.S. secretary of transportation; U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), co-chair, congressional bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus; Barbara Humpton, C.E.O., Siemens USA; and Shannon Valentine, Virginia secretary of transportation.
