SmartAsset: Biden's $1.2 Trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill By State

President Joe Biden signed the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law on Nov. 15. Over the next few years, states will get multi-billion dollar windfall investments in physical infrastructure to build roads and bridges, public transit, clean drinking water and waste water systems, electric vehicle charging networks and high-speed internet. Though investors can work with a financial advisor to capitalize on these dynamics in their portfolios, states themselves will get varying amounts of that cash influx. Let’s break down how much money your state could get from Congress.

The White House says the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal is “a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness.” This is the first part of Biden’s infrastructure plan, which combined with the $1.85 trillion Build Back Better Act, calls on Congress to fund roughly $3 trillion in national infrastructure and social programs.

“With this law, we focus on getting things done,” Biden said at the signing of the bill. “I ran for President because the only way to move this country forward, in my view, was through compromise and consensus. That’s how the system works. That’s American democracy.”

The bipartisan infrastructure bill will deliver:

  • $110 billion in bridge and road repairs
  • $105 billion in public transit and passenger and freight rail systems
  • $73 billion to upgrade power infrastructure
  • $65 billion to ensure that access to high-speed internet
  • $55 billion in clean drinking water systems
  • $50 billion in weatherization projects to protect against climate change
  • $42 billion in repairing, maintaining and modernizing nationwide airports, ports and waterways

California ($44.558 billion), Texas ($35.440 billion), New York ($26.922 billion), Florida ($19.098 billion) and Illinois ($17.814 billion) will get the biggest allocations. But states with populations smaller than 1 million will also get significant boosts per capita. These include Wyoming ($2.584 billion), Vermont ($2.224 billion), Alaska ($4.929 billion), North Dakota ($2.641 billion) and South Dakota ($2.846 billion).

Another interesting funding fact: According to data released by the the White House on Aug. 4, states where former President Donald Trump won the popular vote in the 2020 presidential election will get a minimum windfall of almost $186 billion combined, while those that voted for Biden (including the District of Columbia) will get just over $243 billion.

Without these investments, The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that families would lose more than $3,300 in disposable income annually between 2020 and 2039. This cost breaks down roughly to $9 per day (or $66,000 in 20 years).

The White House says that bridge and road disrepairs cost drivers nationwide just under $558 annually on average. Drivers in states that voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election average just over $515 in costs per year, while those in states that voted for Biden (and the District of Columbia) average almost $599 annually.

For reference, SmartAsset’s 2021 study also shows that infrastructure needs are uneven nationwide. Electric outages in West Virginia, for example, could last more than seven hours on average, while an outage in Arizona could last seven times less (53 minutes).

The table below breaks down how much your state (and the District of Columbia) could get from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. You can scroll down alphabetically to find your state and then compare it with others. Data comes from White House estimates released on Aug. 4. Each state name is hyperlinked to a specific White House fact sheet.

Bottom Line

Biden signed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill into law on Nov. 15. Combined with the $1.85 trillion Build Back Better Act, Biden’s infrastructure plan will call on Congress to invest roughly $3 trillion in national infrastructure and social spending programs.

The $1.85 trillion Build Back Better Act needs to pass in both chambers of Congress before Biden could sign it into law.
