As i read it, that says 2/3 of 54% is surface transportation, including rail and bridges etc. so roughly $425B out of 1.2T. So, not mostly highways.
A plurality for highways. By a large margin the largest recipient of funds from the bill.
Had to look it up. So you agree you were mistaken that it was “mostly” or all related to fossil-fuel vehicle infrastructure? Or at least it’s not mostly highways then?
Plurality also means receiving the most out of all recipients but without receiving a majority. Like our elections.
