Funding public transportation may be President Biden's biggest opportunity to solidify his climate investments. By utilizing flex funding, he can redirect resources to sustainable transportation.
Research shows the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has led to increased greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to new highway constructions driven by conservative forces, undermining climate goals.
Flex funding allows governors to redirect highway funding towards green projects like bus rapid transit, suggesting a proactive approach for Biden to leverage state-level climate efforts.
If Biden could manage to rally Democratic governors who profess commitment to climate change, he could effectively rechannel funds toward hundreds of sustainable transit initiatives.
