The White House announced Wednesday that President Biden intends to appoint 26 “highly qualified and diverse industry and government leaders” as members of the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), the body that advises the administration on reducing physical and cyber risks and improving the security and resilience of critical US infrastructure sectors. Over the past two decades, NIAC has conducted studies on, among other things, improving intelligence information sharing, identifying and reducing complex cyber risks, and preparing for and responding to system disruptions. Biden chose Abedayo Ogunlesi, chairman and CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, to chair the council.

In a sponsored article, FreightWaves covers a recent podcast interview of Bestpass VP and and general manager of consumer services Jon Routledge, who comments on the pandemic’s impact on the trucking industry, particularly the impetus it provided for companies to adopt more technology solutions. “The pandemic has required a lot of companies to take a step back and really think about how they operate,” he said, adding, “The pandemic is not a good thing, but it has pushed the industry toward a more innovative approach and allowed [Bestpass] to continue to grow in a healthy way.” Routledge notes that the ethos underlying his company’s commercial fleet toll payment services “is simplification. We take complex scenarios and we simplify them. If you are a fleet operator of any size and you’re servicing the U.S., you will encounter tolls and this can be complex.”
