Dear John,

As a senior member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I was proud last week to unveil the Moving Forward infrastructure plan. Our plan invests $760 billion to rebuild America’s broken, outdated infrastructure, create 10 million new middle-class jobs, build a greener transportation system for the future, and make our roads, bridges, railways, airports and ports safer for all users. 

Moving Forward is infrastructure investment that is smarter, safer and made to last – with a framework that:

• Brings existing infrastructure into a state of good repair and enables the completion of critical projects through long-term, sustainable funding.
• Sets a path toward zero carbon pollution from the transportation sector, creating jobs, protecting our natural resources, promoting environmental justice and increasing resiliency to climate change.
• Ensures a transportation system that is green, affordable, reliable, efficient and provides access to jobs.
• Provides safe, clean and affordable water and wastewater services.
• Prioritizes the safety of the traveling public.
• Helps combat climate change by creating good-paying jobs in clean energy, investing in energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas pollution.
• Expands broadband internet access for unserved and underserved rural, suburban and urban communities.
• Modernizes 9-1-1 public safety networks.
• Creates family-wage jobs with Davis-Bacon and other strong worker protections.
• Supports U.S. industries, including steel and manufacturing, through strong Buy America protections

I look forward to working with my colleagues in the transportation committee over the next year to make this vision a reality. If you would like to support rebuilding our infrastructure by making it in America, please consider making a contribution of any size. Every dollar counts in ensuring that I get to continue this work.  

Sincerely,

JOHN GARAMENDI
