How are IIJA investments affecting carbon emissions shifts in states, per capita?
The IIJA provided states flexibility to spend federal dollars in ways that could either reduce emission* (with investments in electrification, transit, walking, and biking) or produce emissions* (investments like highway widening that increase car usage and dependency).
The IIJA/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is projected to increase emissions due to over-investment in highway expansion across most states.
