President Proposes Two New Infrastructure Programs

Surprising many, President Obama proposed two new infrastructure programs in his State of the Union speech last night. A “Fix-It-First” program would focus on putting “people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs” like deteriorating bridges and roads. A “Partnership to Rebuild America” would attract private capital to upgrade port infrastructure, pipelines, schools, and likely other infrastructure.

Transportation Issues Daily has the (few) details available now on these proposals.
