With President Joe Biden and both parties in Congress making infrastructure a major priority, intense attention is focused on whether and how to substantially increase the federal investment in infrastructure. Federal transit and highway programs must be reauthorized by September 30, including attention to the ever greater shortfall in revenues dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund, compared to authorized expenditures. The definition of “infrastructure” on the federal level is being debated, with some arguing it should include such things as hospitals, schools, renewable energy and transmission, broadband, and water treatment and delivery systems. Climate and equity issues are also intertwined with the discussion on infrastructure.
