Overview

• Amtrak confirms it replaced Biden-era placards with new red signs reading “President Donald J. Trump — Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure” at projects in Connecticut, Maryland, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, and along the Baltimore–Washington corridor.
• The signs acknowledge in smaller type that the work is funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and do not mention Biden.
• Amtrak describes the switch as a voluntary refresh following the administration change, after the Federal Railroad Administration in April removed a requirement to credit “President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”
• The Department of Transportation says the recognition reflects clearing roughly 3,200 pending grants, a process it attributes to cutting what it called unnecessary DEI and climate mandates from grant reviews.
• Critics and lawmakers say the branding misleads the public, noting Trump’s opposition to the 2021 law and his early-2025 order that initially paused certain infrastructure and climate disbursements, while a prior Hatch Act complaint over Biden-branded signs was closed.
