It’s been one year since President Joe Biden signed his landmark $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law, giving Midwest states a combined total of at least $90.8 billion over the next ten years to improve failing infrastructure and create new transportation options. The White House announced last week that it has released over $185 billion in funding and over 6,900 specific projects so far, seeking to fix crumbling roads, replace lead pipes, improve the electrical grid and improve sustainable public transit options. The bill’s Clean School Bus program is doubling the number of clean buses on America’s roads, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating health risks for children. Many households are also receiving high-speed internet coverage through the Affordable Connectivity Program, which cuts internet bills by up to $30 per month, or $75 for households on Tribal lands. The program also provides a one-time $100 discount off a connected device. Here’s what 12 Midwest states have done with this funding so far:
