When Infrastructure is a Priority, America Moves.  

The systems that carry people, goods, and energy shape how the country works every day. When infrastructure is strong, travel is safer, businesses operate more smoothly, and communities stay connected. When it falls behind, the impacts are felt quickly — in delays, disruptions, and missed opportunities.

America has always moved forward by building and improving the systems that connect us. Thoughtful investment and practical policy choices help modernize infrastructure, improve safety, and support economic growth over time. These long-term decisions influence how people live, work, and do business across the country.

Today, Those Systems are Facing New and Growing demands. 

A more connected economy, increasing freight movement, evolving energy needs, and advancing technology are placing added pressure on infrastructure that was often built for a different era. Whether it’s roads and bridges, rail and air systems, or the power grid, modernization is essential to keep pace with a changing world.

Let’s Build Infrastructure focuses on the ideas, policies, and solutions that help meet these challenges. By keeping infrastructure at the center of the national conversation, we aim to support smarter decision-making, encourage innovation, and ensure the systems Americans rely on are ready for what comes next.

Priorities

  • America’s airspace supports millions of passengers and vast amounts of cargo every year, making it one of the most complex aviation systems in the world. As demand continues to grow, modernizing air traffic control systems is essential to maintaining safety, reliability, and efficiency. Updated technology and improved coordination can reduce delays, strengthen system resilience, and help controllers manage increasingly crowded skies. Long-term modernization ensures the aviation system can safely support economic growth, tourism, and commerce well into the future.

  • Railroads are a critical part of the nation’s transportation network, moving goods, energy, and people across long distances every day. Continued focus on safety, including advanced inspection tools, better data, and targeted investment, helps prevent accidents and protect communities along rail corridors. Reliability is equally important, as consistent service strengthens supply chains and supports industries that depend on predictable freight movement. A safe and dependable rail system remains essential to national and regional economic stability.

  • Roads, bridges, and transit systems connect people to jobs, schools, healthcare, and essential services. Improving how surface transportation projects are planned, funded, and delivered can enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve travel reliability. In some cases, public-private partnerships can offer flexible financing options that help advance projects, manage risk, and accelerate delivery when structured responsibly. Streamlined permitting, clearer timelines, and practical financing approaches help projects move more efficiently from concept to completion. When projects are delivered responsibly and on time, communities see faster benefits and public resources go further.

  • A strong electric grid is fundamental to modern infrastructure, supporting everything from transportation systems to manufacturing and public safety. As electricity demand increases and systems become more interconnected, maintaining reliability and resilience is increasingly important. Power disruptions can ripple quickly through the economy, underscoring the need for strategic investment in grid strength and flexibility.

    Expanding and modernizing power generation is a key part of meeting those demands. New, efficient natural gas generation provides dependable, dispatchable power that supports grid stability and complements other energy sources. Investments in generation capacity, transmission, and system hardening help reduce the risk of outages, strengthen energy security, and ensure the grid can support continued economic growth.
