Overview

• Red roadside signs reading “President Donald J. Trump — Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure” have been installed at multiple sites, with smaller text noting funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
• Locations cited by Amtrak include bridge projects in Connecticut and Maryland, rail-yard improvements in Seattle, Boston, and Philadelphia, and an Amtrak tunnel replacement between Baltimore and Washington.
• An Amtrak spokesperson described the signage as a voluntary Amtrak initiative to replace older notices after the administration change.
• The U.S. Department of Transportation says the recognition reflects the administration’s swift clearing of roughly 3,200 grant backlogs by cutting certain DEI and climate mandates from the grant process.
• Critics, including Rep. Joe Courtney of Connecticut, argue the branding is misleading because the projects rely on the 2021 law Trump opposed and initially moved to pause, while a prior Hatch Act complaint over Biden-era signs was closed without a violation.
