It’s been almost two years since the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was passed into law, injecting $1.2 trillion in federal spending into American infrastructure. A new, interactive map published Thursday by the National League of Cities shows how local governments are spending their allotments.
The dashboard tracks more than 1,600 projects across 1,100 local governments, according to a statement about the project.
“With the funds in the bipartisan infrastructure law, we’re now seeing that work become reality,” said Clarence Anthony, CEO and executive director of the National League of Cities in a statement. “Our new dashboard demonstrates all of the remarkable ways cities, towns and villages are putting these historic federal funds to work in their communities.”
The map includes information about $13 billion dollars in infrastructure funding for investments in resilience, safety, clean energy roads, bridges, public transportation and other infrastructure that are used by more than 97 million people, the statement continues. Users can filter the map by things like location and spending category.
For example, the tracker shows that Jamestown, N.Y. invested all $248,685 of its federal allotment into the Jamestown Comprehensive Road Safety Action Plan.
