Episode Details

Congress just passed a temporary spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, but it leaves a massive $38 billion annual funding gap for roads, bridges, and public transit—money tied to the 2021 infrastructure law set to expire September 30. This stopgap only lasts until December 11, leaving states scrambling as they lose critical federal cash for everything from pothole fixes to EV charging stations. Lawmakers are now stuck debating whether to renew this funding in a long-term transportation bill, turning what could’ve been a quick fix into a major budget showdown with real consequences for infrastructure nationwide.
