Back then, our nation understood that investment in infrastructure was crucial to creating a better future. Our nation’s leaders must find common cause — as we have — and once again make America a global leader on infrastructure. For every dollar invested in public infrastructure, our country gets $3 in economic return. However, we agree that a 21st-century infrastructure is impossible without a major public investment. Seventy-nine percent of the voters polled believe Washington must act and invest in federal infrastructure, and in 2018, 79 percent of 346 state and local ballot measures aimed at infrastructure investment were approved.
