Link?
This from CNN says $621B goes to transportation including roads, bridges, public transit, rail, ports, waterways, airports and electric vehicles in service of improving air quality, reducing congestion and limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
Further, it only mentions $80b going to fix service backlogs on Amtrak's higher speed rail line.
Here's what's in Biden's infrastructure proposal
The link is the bill itself
$115 billion on accelerated road and bridge repairs
$20 billion for “vision zero” and other anti-auto programs
$85 billion for mass transit
$80 billion for Amtrak’s backlog and expansion of Amtrak service
$174 billion supporting electric vehicle manufacturers
$25 billion on airports
$17 billion on inland waterways
$104 billion undesignated by the bill
I would argue that the lines 2,3 and 4 fit my description. The $80B to Amtrak will mostly be used on building new Hudson River Tunnels.
Sure, but that's 'only' $185B. That's far from "most of it is filled with..." as you said.
