Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden announced an infrastructure plan that would spend $1.3 trillion over a 10-year span, aiming to overhaul the country’s transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emission to zero. He said the plan would be funded “by making sure the super-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.”
The plan to “Invest in Middle-Class Competitiveness” involves renovating old railways, highways, ports, and airports across the country. It also targets high-poverty areas that lack access to high-quality, reliable public transportation, pledging to install new light rail networks, bus lines, and bike lanes so the residents have more transportation options.
