Thomas Dover, Christine Ryan and Jill Jaffe participated in the Transportation Research Board’s 63rd Annual Transportation Law Workshop that took place July 7-10, 2024 in Kansas City, MO.
On July 8th, Christine discussed “Risk Allocation in Contracts.” This panel examined the trends in risk allocation for contracts for various types of project delivery models, as well as best practices for risk allocation for mega-projects delivered through alternative delivery models.
Thomas addressed “Artificial Intelligence in Real Transportation: Going from Gimmick to Game Changer” on July 9th. This panel discussed the rapidly developing software and applications of artificial intelligence. Specifically for the transportation sector, Thomas addressed AI and machine learning privacy and information security issues, government procurement and contracting concerns and the regulatory landscape.
Jill discussed “False Claims Act” on July 9th. This panel provided different perspectives on False Claims Act investigations and claims during the development and implementation of transportation projects. They also explored how these cases arise, what is required to establish the elements of a False Claims Act claim, what that means from an investigatory standpoint, how these claims differ from other types of claims on transportation projects and best practices for avoiding false claims from public and private viewpoints.
