Buttigieg’s “Building for the 21st Century: An infrastructure plan to create jobs, increase resilience, and usher in a new era of opportunity” included $165 billion for the Highway Trust Fund to make it solvent through 2029. This would be funded through a user-fee system — perhaps a vehicle-miles traveled fee, the plan suggested — to replace the gas tax. Creating jobs was also a cornerstone of the infrastructure plan he released in January, as he looked to create 6 million “well-paying jobs with strong labor protections.” His plan called for updating and fixing at least half of all roads and bridges in poor conditions by 2030, with $50 billion in state grants to repair bridges.
