Joe Biden Joins Secretary Fox to Emphasize Infrastructure

Vice President Joe Biden joined Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx for a trip through the Carolinas in large part to emphasize the need to build a consensus on revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure.

The White House is stressing the importance of focusing on upgrading roads, bridges and transit systems.  It’s a tall order, particularly when it comes time to decide who picks up the tab.

Some anticipate that Congress is indeed motivated to pass the long-term transportation bill, which would establish a multi-year project plan.

For his part, Foxx is taking the long view, the very long view.  “I’m taking to the road this week to highlight the importance of investing in America’s infrastructure and to encourage congress to act on a long-term transportation bill,” he noted.
