Referring to the BIL as a "game changer for Pennsylvania", Gov. Wolf said "this funding is already helping us to speed up projects underway in PA" and the BIL "will help us fix our highways and bridges, improve rail transit, invest in broadband infrastructure, and meet our clean energy goals to fight the damage climate change is causing in Pennsylvania communities."
"Because of this money, we can keep Pennsylvanians safer, support more union jobs, and ensure that Pennsylvania's infrastructure is ready to meet the needs of the 21st century."
A long list of roads, bridges, and community projects; rail, transit, ports, and aviation projects; and electric vehicle projects were included in this release from Governor Wolf's office.
