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.

Is Tommy Tuberville an Alabama resident? GOP candidate challenges status
Watch AL governor candidate Tommy Tuberville speak on election night
See Tommy Tuberville speak on election night in Alabama
The Alabama Republican Party will hold a hearing on June 14 on a challenge questioning whether U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville meets the state’s constitutional residency requirement to run for governor.
The challenge comes from former GOP primary candidate Ken McFeeters, who argues Tuberville has not been a resident of Alabama long enough under state law.
McFeeters said he was notified Monday that the Alabama GOP steering committee will take up his residency at an upcoming hearing.
He has filed multiple challenges and a lawsuit contesting Tuberville’s eligibility, all focused on whether the senator meets Alabama’s seven-year residency requirement for governor.
Alabama Constitutional Residency Requirement for Governor
Under the Alabama Constitution, candidates for governor must be at least 30 years old, U.S. citizens for at least 10 years and residents of the state for at least seven years immediately before the election.
The dispute centers on whether Tuberville has maintained continuous Alabama residency under that standard.
Tommy Tuberville’s Campaign response
Tuberville, a former Auburn University football coach who moved to Alabama in 1999, has said he meets all eligibility requirements.
His campaign has released redacted federal tax returns covering multiple years in response to McFeeters’ claims.
Campaign chair Jordan Doufexis said the evidence will show Tuberville has long met the state’s residency threshold.
“We will submit a comprehensive response… demonstrating that he is a resident citizen of Alabama,” Doufexis said, adding the campaign is confident in its legal position.
Questions about Florida ties and past records
Tuberville’s residency has faced scrutiny for years, including reports citing ties outside Alabama.
Those reports have referenced a Florida driver’s license that remained active until 2023 and voting activity in Florida in 2018. Tuberville has pointed to Alabama property records and a homestead exemption tied to his family as evidence of residency.
McFeeters has also cited travel and expense records he says show Tuberville frequently traveled outside Alabama during the period in question.
The Alabama GOP previously rejected McFeeters’ residency challenge in February, allowing Tuberville to remain on the ballot.
Tuberville went on to win the Republican primary on May 19 with about 85% of the vote, easily defeating McFeeters and other challengers.
What happens if Tuberville is found ineligible?
If the committee were to rule against Tuberville, McFeeters could potentially become the Republican nominee for governor in the November general election.
He would then face Democratic nominee Doug Jones.

In Alabama Primary Elections, Incumbent Utility Regulators Feel the Squeeze of High Energy Prices – Inside Climate News
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—For some incumbents, politics have turned sour in sweet home Alabama. In the May 26 primary election for two seats on the Public Service Commission, the state’s utility regulator, voters rejected one incumbent and sent another to a runoff.
The electoral shakeup comes as Alabamians are increasingly concerned about economic issues, including utility prices. Polling released earlier this year showed that 80 percent of Alabamians cite economic concerns as the top issue state leaders should address.
Now, Alabama politicians have gotten their first sense of voters’ attitudes this election cycle, and the message for incumbents charged with regulating utilities is one of frustration.
Commissioner Jeremy Oden, a Republican who has served on the body since 2012, lost his bid for re-election to Matt Gentry, who currently serves as sheriff of Cullman County, 75 percent to 25 percent.
Gentry will go on to face Democrat James O. Gordon in the November general election.
Another Republican incumbent on the PSC, Chris Beeker, also failed to garner the most votes from primary voters. Jim Zeigler, a perennial candidate who served on the body from 1975 to 1979, earned the most votes with 45 percent to Beeker’s 25. Because no candidate earned the majority of votes, Beeker will face Zeigler in a primary runoff election on June 16. The winner will face Democrat Sheila McNeil in November.
Electricity prices, in particular, have become a hot button issue across the country ahead of this year’s elections, including in Alabama, where power-hungry data center projects have begun to spring up across the state. In neighboring Georgia, utility cost increases and data center development became a major discussion in its own Public Service Commission elections, races that led to major Republican-to-Democrat flips and garnered headlines nationwide.

In the Wake of Georgia’s Blue Wave, Alabama Changed Its Utility Regulation Elections. This Black Democrat Is Suing.
By Lee Hedgepeth
Fear of a similar outcome in deep red Alabama has left some politicians nervous. During this year’s legislative session, lawmakers were forced to pull a bill that would have ended Public Service Commission elections altogether after significant public outcry.
In its place, the majority GOP legislature passed a major restructuring of the regulatory body that inflates its membership from three to seven members and consolidates significant regulatory power in a newly created secretary of energy to be appointed by the governor. The new law makes it more difficult to initiate a formal rate case, effectively barring such a hearing before 2029 and subsequently requiring the approval of the secretary of energy or five of seven commission members to do so.
Alabamians have good reason for concern over energy prices. An Inside Climate News analysis showed that Alabama Power customers paid the highest average residential bills among the 100 largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. Experts have pointed to the “regulatory capture” of bodies like the Public Service Commission as one reason for those high rates.
All of the successful candidates in this year’s PSC primaries have cited high utility bills as a reason for reform.
In the race for the Place 1 seat, Gentry’s 50-point primary victory over Oden came in the wake of Gentry’s pledge to call for the first formal public rate hearing overseeing Alabama Power’s electricity price increases since 1982. James Gordon, his Democratic opponent, has gone further, calling for regular formal rate hearings, an immediate 25 percent reduction in bills and consideration of a cap on the company’s annual profits.
In the bid for Place 2, Zeigler and Beeker will battle it out in the lead-up to their June runoff. Beeker is relatively new to the commission, having been appointed to the body in 2024 to serve the remaining term of his father, also Chris, a three-term incumbent, who resigned citing health concerns.

Zeigler’s campaign has focused on pairing opposition to both large data center projects needed to power AI and solar farms for renewable electricity to harness local political passions, though his campaign’s website landing page features an AI-generated image as its background.
“They can ruin your community, consume water and drive your electric bills up. No one in Montgomery is overseeing this,” Zeigler said of data centers in a campaign video.
Beeker has taken a more traditional Alabama politics approach, nationalizing the issues and attacking what he labels “woke” left policies he claims without evidence are driving energy prices up.
Appearing in an ad holding his rifle on a farm, Beeker said he’ll fight for Alabama.
“As your public service commissioner, I’m again standing with President Trump against woke liberal environmentalists who are trying to kill Alabama jobs,” Beeker said.
As commissioner, Beeker has not yet called for a formal rate hearing on Alabama Power’s electricity prices.
McNeil, the Democrat in the race, did not face a primary challenger and has now begun her general election campaign in earnest. Her message? Power bills must come down.
“This is one of the most important positions on the ballot because it affects 1.5 million Alabamians,” McNeil said of the PSC races at a candidate forum earlier this month. “Utility rates are too high. They are some of the highest in the country. Something has got to be done because what has been going on for the last 20 years got us to where we are today.”
