Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, enacted as the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58). The $1.2 trillion bill continues authorization for national surface transportation legislation and includes $550 billion in new infrastructure investments. See the Laws and Incentives database for new and updated laws and incentives relevant to alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and corresponding fueling infrastructure.

Executive Order 14052, issued November 2021, outlines the Biden Administration’s implementation priorities and establishes an Infrastructure Implementation Task Force (Task Force) to coordinate the effective implementation of IIJA. The Executive Order lays out priorities to guide implementation across the federal government, including investing public dollars efficiently and equitably, increasing the competitiveness of the U.S. economy and bolstering domestic manufacturing and manufacturing supply chains, creating good-paying job opportunities, building resilient infrastructure that can withstand the impacts of climate change and that helps combat the climate crisis, and effectively coordinating with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments in implementing these critical investments. To coordinate effective implementation across the government and advance these priorities, the Executive Order also establishes the Task Force. The Task Force is co-chaired by the National Economic Council Director and the White House Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator. The Office of Management and Budget, Domestic Policy Council, and the Climate Policy Office in the White House will also sit on the Task Force along with various federal agencies.
