House Democrats on Wednesday unveiled a five-year, $760 billion package for rebuilding roads and improving railways, signaling a new election-year priority and urging the White House to get on board.

The so-called “Moving Forward Framework” will serve as a guide for House committees to draft and debate policy designed to reinvigorate the country’s highways, transit systems, airports and more. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal collaborated on the plan.

“This is just one part of what we will be doing when we have our legislative week for infrastructure,” Pelosi said. “We’ll also have a special focus on housing, a special focus on education, school construction — all of it very important to this,” she added at a news conference on Capitol Hill.

The plan designates $329 billion for modernizing highways and improving roadway safety, including fixing 47,000 “structurally deficient” bridges and reducing carbon pollution. It also devotes $105 billion to transit agencies, $55 billion to rail investments such as Amtrak, and $30 billion to airport improvement.
