By the numbers: Biden's budget priorities for supply chains
President Joe Biden's $5.8 trillion fiscal 2023 budget, released Monday, includes more money for port infrastructure and building capacity in solar energy supply chains.
The budget, which still needs approval from Congress, recommends spending beyond the bipartisan infrastructure law signed earlier this year. The president is proposing a $142 billion budget for the Department of Transportation, which includes $1.5 billion more in discretionary funding over 2021.
"From roads, tunnels and bridges, to airport and port improvements, electric vehicle chargers, safe bike lanes, and more, we are building a first-rate transportation system for all Americans," U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.
Here are a few of the supply chain highlights from the president’s spending proposal to Congress.
