With local, regional and national leaders focused on what the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will deliver to America, the Americans for Transportation Mobility (ATM) Coalition is releasing a trio of short videos that highlight three regional voices explaining why the legislation matters.

From roads, bridges, rural broadband and resilient infrastructure, to ports, airports and transit systems, America’s infrastructure is getting a generational redo.

In 2019, the United States‘ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was $21.43 trillion. However, not a penny of that would have been possible without a national commerce framework and connected transportation system — the latter of which is breaking down, lacks longterm federal funding, and whose footprint is increasingly more fragile.

While the entire country has been dealing with all things COVID-19, states have faced some tough financial times for operating and maintaining transportation networks because of reduced revenues. This has forced delays in much-needed transportation projects.

WATCH our video -- Gallup senior scientist Frank Newport, Ph.D., wrote that “every bit of polling evidence I have reviewed shows that Americans are extremely supportive of new government infrastructure legislation.”
