Congress Passes the Historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

On Saturday, November 6, the House passed the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal which the President will sign into law on Monday, November 15.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind. The legislation will help ease inflationary pressures and strengthen supply chains by making long overdue improvements for our nation’s ports, airports, rail, and roads. It will drive the creation of good-paying union jobs and grow the economy sustainably and equitably so that everyone gets ahead for decades to come. Combined with the President’s Build Back Framework, it will add on average 1.5 million jobs per year for the next 10 years.

This historic legislation will:  

• Deliver clean water to all American families and eliminate the nation’s lead service lines.

• Ensure every American has access to reliable high-speed internet.

• Improve transportation options for millions of Americans and reduce greenhouse emissions through the largest investment in public transit in U.S. history.

• Upgrade our nation’s airports and ports to strengthen our supply chains and prevent disruptions that have caused inflation. This will improve U.S. competitiveness, create more and better jobs at these hubs, and reduce emissions.

• Make the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak.

• Repair and rebuild our roads and bridges with a focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity, and safety for all users.

• Build a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers.

• Upgrade our power infrastructure to deliver clean, reliable energy across the country and deploy cutting-edge energy technology to achieve a zero-emissions future.

• Make our infrastructure resilient against the impacts of climate change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events.

• Deliver the largest investment in tackling legacy pollution in American history by cleaning up Superfund and brownfield sites, reclaiming abandoned mines, and capping orphaned oil and gas wells.
