“The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act”
https://cms7.dot.gov/tags/fast-act
On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, or “FAST Act.” It is the first law enacted in over ten years that provides long-term funding certainty for surface transportation, meaning States and local governments can move forward with critical transportation projects, like new highways and transit lines, with the confidence that they will have a Federal partner over the long term.”
Would a Biden presidency would renew and support this act?
