FACT SHEET: Historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal
Statement by President Joe Biden on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal
Last month, the President stood with Democrats and Republicans at the White House to announce the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework – a bipartisan agreement to make the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century.
Today, the President and the bipartisan group of Senators announced a deal on the details of that once-in-generation investment in our infrastructure, which will now be taken up in the Senate for consideration.
The policies agreed to will grow the economy, create good jobs, enhance our competitiveness, and make our economy more sustainable, resilient, and just.
With the remainder of the President’s Build Back Better Agenda, these investments will add, on average, nearly 2 million jobs per year over the course of the decade, while accelerating America’s path to full employment and increasing labor force participation.
President Biden believes we must invest in our country and our people by creating good jobs, tackling the climate crisis, and sustaining equitable economic growth for decades to come. This deal will deliver progress towards those objectives for working families across the country.
This historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal:
- Makes the largest federal investment in public transit
- Makes the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak
- Makes the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system
- Makes the largest investment in clean drinking water and waste water infrastructure in American history, replacing all of the nation’s lead pipes and delivering clean water to millions of families
- Ensures every American has access to reliable high-speed internet
- Helps us tackle the climate crisis by making the largest investment in clean energy transmission and EV infrastructure in history and electrifying thousands of school and transit buses across the country
