2020 State of the Union address: on Technology

Donald Trump: New roads, bridges & tunnels, plus high-speed rural internet

We must also rebuild America's infrastructure. I ask you to pass Senator Barrasso's highway bill--to invest in new roads, bridges, and tunnels across our land. I am also committed to ensuring that every citizen can have access to high-speed internet, including rural America.

Congressional Summary: S.2302 addresses several provisions related to highway transportation infrastructure, including provisions to accelerate project completions, improve resiliency to disasters, and reduce highway emissions, [including]:

a bridge investment program to award competitive grants
new climate-related grant programs, including for carbon reduction
expands the flexibility provided out of the Highway Trust Fund; and
prioritizes animal detection systems that reduce the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions.
