Officials from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation sent a 30-page paper to the U.S. Department of Transportation, outlining the association’s recommendations for how to implement the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, according to a press release from AASHTO.
AASHTO’s officials noted that “delivery is paramount” to the IIJA’s success and reminded the federal government that state DOTs are willing to partner with the executive branch to ensure that the law’s vision is realized.
State DOTs are in the best position to achieve the IIJA’s goals, according to AASHTO.
