The climate & clean energy provisions in the #InflationReductionAct complement the funding & investments of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and represent the dire need for climate action across all levels of government.

Nearly everyone can point to the place in their community where American infrastructure is not reaching its potential. Together, the infrastructure bill and @POTUS’ Build Back Better Framework will fix what’s broken and create new, good-paying jobs along the way.

You should not be depending on last century’s infrastructure. The #AmericanJobsPlan will modernize 20,000 miles of road across the country and repair 10,000 bridges.

Our children are counting on us to repair our roads, fight the climate crisis, and ensure equitable access to transportation. @USDOT is ready to meet this moment.

We reject false choices between fixing the roads we have and making space for alternative modes of transportation. Americans deserve world-class quality and a full range of good options to get where they need to be.

We can reimagine our infrastructure for future generations. We can also "fix the damn roads" we already have.
We can and must do both.
Emily Tritsch retweeted
We must build a transportation system that can empower future generations.
But we've also got to fix what we have now: the broken roads, the buckling sidewalks, and the underfunded transit that holds us back.

This report card documents what Americans already know: our infrastructure is in rough shape.
Now's the moment to make the generational investments in the safety, equity, resilience, and economic strength that Americans deserve.

Transportation Secretary Buttigieg says it's tempting to fixate on high-profile new stuff, like high-speed rail and electrification of vehicles. But:
"A lot of what we’ve got to do is dealing with a maintenance backlog. Fix it first is going to be an important mantra for us."

If you're waiting for a female leader that the right won't demonise in a deeply misogynist way, I've got very bad news for you.
