American Jobs Plan ‘A Winner for the Midwest’

President Biden’s bold infrastructure program is a winner for the Midwest’s environment, jobs and mobility.

“President Biden’s bold infrastructure program is a winner for the Midwest’s environment, jobs and mobility. ELPC’s Midwest state business supply chain reports show how savvy climate solutions that accelerate renewable energy create new jobs and spur economic growth,” said Howard Learner, Executive Director, Environmental Law & Policy Center. “Advancing clean energy, transit, rail and electric vehicle are proven job creators across the Midwest. ELPC looks forward to working with President Biden to turn his bold proposal into legislative action and on-the-ground progress.”   

“Our children deserve clean air and healthy rides to school. We appreciate President Biden’s inclusion of a new Clean Buses for Kids Program at the EPA with a goal of replacing 20% of the nation’s dirty diesel school buses with clean zero-emission buses,” said Susan Mudd, Senior Policy Advocate Environmental Law & Policy Center.
