Growing Support for the INVEST in America Act

After Committee leaders unveiled the bill text Friday, June 4, support started pouring in from a diverse array of transportation, environmental, worker, and safety advocates.

Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO

"By including strong labor protections across the entire bill, the INVEST in America Act ensures our country can compete in a global, 21st century economy, while creating and sustaining good jobs in construction, operations, maintenance, design, and manufacturing."

American Trucking Associations (ATA)

"The INVEST in America Act is a solid piece of legislation that authorizes a transformative increase in funding for roads and bridges, creating a strong baseline of new investment that aligns with the growing needs of our nation's aging infrastructure."

Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)

"This legislation sets its sights on the future, one with strong job growth, a booming economy, redress for racial inequities, and a safer climate. And, critically, this bill avoids unnecessary rollbacks of environmental reviews and public input. This is the bold approach we need to tackle our crises of racial inequity and climate change."

American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

"We applaud your efforts and offer our support for, the Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation in America (INVEST in America) Act. Your five-year, $547 billion authorization addresses the growing challenges facing our roads, bridges, and transit systems by providing a vital increase in funding levels to address project backlogs, provide much-needed program stability, and give added attention to safety, the impacts of climate change, and resiliency."

American Public Transportation Association (APTA)

"This once-in-a-generation, forward-thinking investment will help our communities meet growing mobility demands, create family-wage jobs, expand U.S. manufacturing and supply chains, and grow the economy."
