Online map tracks IIJA funding
Abstract
The American Society of Civil Engineers recently released a map of projects funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. ASCE created the resource in collaboration with economic development nonprofit Accelerator for America to showcase the impact of the five-year, $1.2 trillion federal investment. The map is not exhaustive, but the cards contain useful information such as statistics from ASCE's Infrastructure Report Card as well as videos of elected officials around the country discussing the importance of the investment to their constituents. Users can also filter the projects by category of infrastructure, such as bridges, airports, wastewater and transit. The infrastructure act passed its one-year anniversary on Tuesday. The White House said thus far $185 billion has been released of the total amount, and beyond the IIJA, more infrastructure investment is coming.
