President Biden’s sweeping and costly infrastructure plan, which calls for $621 billion in transit spending alone over eight years, includes funding that could, if fully realized, modernize mass transit in the northeast for decades to come.
The ambitious proposal, known as the The American Jobs Plan, is a $2 trillion spending plan that includes everything from ensuring the entire country has broadband, to replacing every lead drinking water pipe in the country, to making the northeast’s rail network as fast and reliable as ones in Europe and Asia.
