Investment in transportation infrastructure, such as roads, ports, railways, and public transit systems, facilitates the efficient movement of goods and people, reducing costs for businesses and individuals alike. Enhanced transportation networks can attract investment and spur economic growth by improving connectivity among regions, fostering trade, and creating job opportunities. Reliable, clean, and modern transportation systems increase productivity by allowing businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively. Moreover, equitable, clean, and affordable transportation options will enhance economic competitiveness, mobility of goods and services and more readily enable underserved populations to access employment opportunities. Federally-funded investments in transportation infrastructure are also required to incorporate domestically sourced construction materials and manufactured products, ensuring that workers across all of America have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the creation of a stronger and more vibrant economy.
