WASHINGTON - The White House on Monday said it wanted Congress to approve legislation to boost U.S. infrastructure by at least $1 trillion, with a “tight time frame” to agree a bill to fund repairs of roads, bridges, airports and other projects.
“This infrastructure bill has to be passed around August so we are looking at a very, very tight time frame,” Chao said. However, Chao said it was not clear from where the administration of President Donald Trump would find the entire proposed $1 trillion earmarked for improvements. “I don’t know yet if it will be fully federal funded. Everything is on the table,” she said.
Congress also must address shortfalls in a highway trust fund, intended to help fund highway projects, before the current funding mechanism expires in September 2020, Chao said. “It may be easier if we merge the two efforts,” she said. Congress has added more than $140 billion to highway repairs to make up for a lack of gasoline tax revenue.
