From restoring roads to advancing clean energy: How are states spending federal infrastructure dollars?
Deadly collapses of structures like Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge and an elevated section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia are dramatic examples of American infrastructure failures. But millions more Americans are affected daily by dated and deteriorating structures across the country.
Americans make 178 million daily trips across structurally deficient bridges. Up to 10 million American households don’t have safe drinking water. More than 30 million Americans live in areas that lack high-speed internet. Climate and extreme weather events have killed nearly 2,000 Americans and caused over $600 billion in damages in just the past five years.
On the whole, U.S. infrastructure is ill-equipped for the demands of modern-day life. In response, the federal government has been pumping money into making repairs and improvements across the country through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021; the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which funds the domestic production of semiconductors and promotes various activities at science agencies; and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Through these, the federal government has announced $582.8 billion in funding toward public infrastructure, semiconductor development, and clean energy across the nation and its territories.
But how do these investments shake out on a local level? Truck Parking Club used White House public investments data to analyze how states are spending federal infrastructure dollars in their communities. This data represents public projects announced as of July that are funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS and Science Act. Projects spanning multiple states were not included in state analyses, but are reflected within national statistics.
Infrastructure encompasses all basic, necessary facilities and systems that service the country’s residents. This takes many forms, including roads, power grids, water service, and wireless internet. Much of U.S. infrastructure is aging and overburdened, creating delays, demanding maintenance, and in some cases, posing safety risks.
The inherent issues with safety, security, and the economy led to bipartisan support for the landmark government investments of the 2020s. In all, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will invest $1.2 trillion in transportation and infrastructure; the Inflation Reduction Act will invest $369 billion in energy production, manufacturing, and reducing carbon emissions; and the CHIPS and Science Act will invest $52.7 billion to fund in-country semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing through 2027.
Several of the largest projects will give billions to technology corporations to build manufacturing facilities stateside, with an aim to create a domestic supply of semiconductor chips. These small devices are found in many everyday items including computers, smartphones, cars, medical equipment, appliances—nearly any electronic device imaginable. The Department of Commerce has struck deals with Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and Micron to construct and expand these facilities.
Another set of leading investments was the National Clean Investment Fund grants, which provided nearly $14 billion to three green financing institutions. One plans to establish a U.S. national green bank, which will help connect green lenders to fund projects in low-income communities. All three investments are intended to provide affordable loans and other financing for green projects, such as solar installations, homes built with clean technologies, and high-efficiency electrical upgrades.
More than $26 billion has been allocated for projects in “resilience,” which refers to efforts to mitigate climate change and other threats. Examples of resilience projects include infrastructure to minimize or prevent damage from flooding or using funds to employ more wildland firefighters.

Transportation focus
Transportation projects dominate infrastructure funding allocations, according to the data so far. Just over half of federal dollars announced so far are geared toward transportation. Within the category, most funding has been doled out to build, repair, or modernize roads, bridges, and other major projects.
Some projects hit on several funding targets. For instance, the proposal to replace the bridge connecting Washington and Oregon via I-5 has received $2.1 billion in federal grants, and project planners expect they could receive another $1 billion. Parts of the existing bridge are over 100 years old, and the existing structures are at risk of collapsing in an earthquake. The new bridge is expected to implement new safety features, add auxiliary lanes, and expand public transit and active transportation options.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is also making the largest investment in passenger rail since Amtrak was created. Within the transportation category, the two largest line items in the project database are to build new railroad tunnels in Baltimore and under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York.
Transportation projects claimed a majority of fund distributions in all but two states, Wyoming and Arizona. In the latter state, the U.S. has said it will provide up to $6.6 billion to TSMC Arizona Corp. to support the development of three advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This is the third-largest project investment that has been announced and the largest to go into a single state. In Wyoming, the other exception, the U.S. is partnering with TerraPower to build a nuclear power plant. The U.S. could invest up to $2 billion in the reactor in its efforts to advance clean energy.
Read on to see how transportation and other federal infrastructure dollars are being allocated in your state. States are listed in alphabetical order, with funds broken down by major categories provided in the White House data.

Alabama
Do you have a right to wear a penis costume in public? A 62-year-old Alabama woman is about to find out.
In October, millions of people took part in “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump. In one Alabama town, police arrested a woman in a lewd costume and threatened her with jail time—a clear violation of her First Amendment rights.
Unfortunately, the case is still ongoing, and this week, it’s set for trial.
“Officers were dispatched following complaints regarding traffic hazards in the area,” the Fairhope Police Department posted on Facebook at the time. “Upon arrival, an officer observed an individual in a phallic costume near the Baldwin Square Shopping Center.”
Translation: He found a woman in an inflatable penis costume, holding a sign that said “No Dick-Tator.”
“The officer approached the woman and requested that she remove the costume, which is deemed obscene in a public setting; however, she refused to comply,” the statement continued. It added that officers arrested the woman in question, identified as Jeana Renea Gamble, “an ASL interpreter who bought the penis suit at a nearby Spirit Halloween store,” Liliana Segura wrote at The Intercept. She was 61 years old at the time.
Body camera footage from the responding officer—identified in an incident report as Cpl. Andrew Babb—provides additional context. “I’m not gonna sit here and argue with you,” Babb says as he approaches Gamble. “If my kids had to come by and see this, how would you explain it to them?”
Babb’s tone is immediately confrontational, as he repeatedly demands to know “how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.” When Gamble asks if “your children don’t understand what a pun is,” Babb calls for backup over his radio.
Gamble asks if she’s being detained, and when he doesn’t answer the question, she turns to walk away. Babb then grabs her costume, throws her to the ground, and flips her over while he and other officers handcuff her.
Bystanders criticize his actions, to which Babb retorts, “I told her to take it off.” In fact, he didn’t, at least not according to the footage; it’s possible he told her to remove the costume while first walking up, before he activated the audio on his recording, but otherwise, the entire interaction—from initial approach to throwing Gamble to the ground—took less than 60 seconds.
He also tells the crowd, “This is a family town”—whatever that means.
Babb took a phone call on the way to the jail, as shown on the bodycam footage. He explains he arrested someone “dressed like a friggin’ weiner,” and he says he told her, “being dressed like that is not going to be tolerated….You’re setting an example that doesn’t need to be set.”
Officers booked Gamble on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest—quite a stretch, given the video evidence.
In February, prosecutors added even more charges for disturbing the peace and giving a false name to law enforcement. When officers asked Gamble for her name, she replied, “Aunt Tifa”—an apparent pun on antifa, the shorthand used by antifascist protesters.
After being delayed twice before, Gamble’s trial is set to begin on April 15.
It’s hard not to see this as an abuse of power. Specifically, Babb took offense at Gamble’s costume, and his stated reasoning makes it clear he feels entitled to punish people for offending him or his children. But it’s not against the law to force somebody, even a police officer, to have uncomfortable conversations with his kids.
As Segura noted at The Intercept, the costume Gamble wore that so incensed Babb is sold at Halloween stores. Should he have the right to shut down Spirit Halloween, or arrest its employees, because his children might see it?
Babb would not be the first to let his tender sensibilities override his charge to enforce the law.
In 2019, an officer in Lake City, Florida, arrested Dillon Shane Webb for a sticker on his truck that declared, in bold letters, “I eat ass.” The officer said the sticker violated Florida’s obscenity law, which UCLA School of Law professor Eugene Volokh concluded at the time was “unconstitutionally overbroad and thus invalid on its face.” Indeed, just days later, prosecutors dropped the charges, concluding Webb had a valid First Amendment defense.
Unfortunately, prosecutors in Alabama have not reached the same conclusion. Hopefully, a jury will similarly conclude that Gamble did nothing wrong, but either way, it won’t undo the damage that has already been done, in which officers roughed up a senior citizen because they found her costume objectionable.
“It’s a travesty of justice that this case is even going to trial,” Aaron Terr, director of public advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), tells Reason. “It rests on nothing more than a citizen criticizing the president using a costume anyone could buy at a Spirit Halloween store. The arresting officer didn’t hide the fact that he handcuffed Gamble because he was offended by her costume. But giving offense is not a crime. Gamble’s political expression lies squarely within the First Amendment’s protection. Fairhope officials should be correcting this constitutional violation, not doubling down on it.”

Alabama transfer guard reportedly announces commitment decision
Former Alabama guard Jalil Bethea has officially committed to Pittsburgh, per Rivals’ Joe Tipton.
Bethea struggled to make a consistent impact throughout his one and only season at Alabama. The former Miami transfer averaged 3.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists this past season, as Bethea could potentially play a much larger role throughout his time at Pitt next year. Bethea averaged just eight minutes per game this season as well, as the former Crimson Tide guard will now turn his full attention towards a fresh start with the Panthers.
Bethea was ranked as the No. 3 shooting guard and the No. 7 overall player from the class of 2024, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He was listed as the No. 1 overall player out of Pennsylvania as well, as a return to his home state could undoubtedly be exactly what Bethea needs to turn his career around during the 2026-27 campaign.
Following the commitment of Bethea, Aiden Sherrell and Taylor Bol Bowen are the lone Alabama players in the portal who have yet to announce a transfer decision.
