00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:05.400
We now have over 60, 000 infrastructure
projects, large and small, moving

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:07.140
forward across the United States.

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.059
And it's everything from, uh, major
efforts that I call the cathedrals of

00:00:12.059 --> 00:00:17.520
our infrastructure, sometimes multi
state, multi billion dollar projects, To

00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:21.490
a spot like Grand Forks, North Dakota,
where this railroad crossing has just

00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:23.070
been a community headache for years.

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:29.219
What unites all of those projects,
all 60, 000 of them, is not one of

00:00:29.290 --> 00:00:34.159
them was cooked up in the Department
of Transportation headquarters in

00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:35.629
the Navy Yard in Washington, D.

00:00:35.629 --> 00:00:35.849
C.

00:00:36.459 --> 00:00:39.880
All of these projects were
developed by communities, by

00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.270
states, by local project sponsors.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.499
The philosophy of our infrastructure
package is that the ideas aren't going to

00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:51.330
come from Washington, but more More of the
funding should, and now, it finally is.
