NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its latest comment on the partial federal government shutdown, now in its fifth week. KBRA notes that the shutdown has not had a discernable impact on state and local government transportation agency operations. However, in the absence of a resolution to the current gridlock in Washington, D.C., KBRA would expect to see increasing adverse effects with the passage of time. KBRA believes the ramifications for transportation agencies will vary greatly, depending on each agency’s reliance on federal funding support for operations and/or infrastructure needs.
The full impact will depend on the degree to which the infrastructure project plays a vital role to the agency’s core mission.
