The Biden administration launched 66,000 infrastructure projects. Pete Buttigieg talks about what’s next

‘There’s nothing like it in my lifetime.’

In the first Trump administration, “Infrastructure Week” became a running joke: Despite a dozen announcements, it never happened. Then, after Biden took office, he worked with Congress to pass the massive Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with $1.2 trillion in funding for everything from fixing aging bridges to removing lead pipes, adding a national EV-charging network, and upgrading the electric grid. Now, 66,000 projects are underway. But it’s possible that some of the funding—especially for sustainable transportation—will be at risk when Trump becomes president again.
