What their research found

By comparing the projects selected for funding over the last 10 years and their levels of funding, Transportation for America shown that under the Trump administration, the focus of BUILD has shifted to:

• • More roads, less multimodal. Funding for transit projects has reached new lows while road projects have received record levels of funding. The small amount of funding for multimodal projects is inconsistent with the law.
  • More new capacity, less repair. The Trump administration has focused more heavily on capacity expansion (i.e. new roads and road widenings) versus repair and bridge replacement. The Trump administration has prioritized doing the exact opposite of “repairing our crumbling roads and bridges” with the BUILD program. Tweet the findings

    The analysis was published as a series of blog posts and as a single document that is available to download.
