Cited by the Times, Chuck Schumer said "our urban and rural communities have their own unique set of infrastructure priorities, and this proposal would provide funding to address those needed upgrades that go beyond the traditional road and bridge repair." The Senate Democrat leader adds that "We're asking President Trump to work with us to make it a reality/"

As part of his agenda, Trump has promised to unveil an ambitious infrastructure package during the first 100 days of his presidency. "We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation," he vowed in his Inaugural Address.
