In three years, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has made more than 66,000 projects possible for thousands of communities across the country
WASHINGTON, DC— Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) released the following statement on the three-year anniversary of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. More than $560 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law dollars have been invested in communities for over 66,000 projects to improve roads, bridges, freight and passenger rail, transit systems, ports, airports, water systems as well as other needs.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has funded game-changing projects across the country that are creating a cleaner, greener, safer and more accessible transportation system—keeping people and the economy moving,” Ranking Member Larsen said. “This investment has fueled more than 66,000 projects to build safer roads and bridges, expand passenger rail and public transit options, create cleaner ports and more accessible airports and deliver cleaner water to communities across the nation, with more funding on the way. Today, I celebrate these significant investments that are creating jobs for hardworking Americans. There is still more work to be done, which is why I will keep fighting with fellow T&I Democrats to continue an infrastructure decade that improves mobility, supports jobs and grows our economy from the middle up and the bottom out.”
