Transportation
Our Work
America is a nation on the move. While our transportation system is a tremendous national asset, it is aging and slowing Americans down. A crumbling transportation system reduces productivity, undermines our ability to move products across the country and around the world, and increases congestion and air pollution. Investment in modernized transportation infrastructure will fuel economic growth, enhance our competitiveness, and lead to job creation.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides $351 billion for highways over five years from the Highway Trust Fund and General Fund, with $307 billion provided as formula apportionments to states.
