Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

The order directs all federal agencies to prioritize six goals when implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: efficient and measurable use of public funds, U.S. competitiveness and manufacturing, high labor standards including prevailing wages and union organizing rights, equitable investment under the Justice40 Initiative, climate-resilient infrastructure, and coordination with state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments. It creates the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force within the Executive Office of the President, co-chaired by the Director of the National Economic Council and a newly created White House Infrastructure Coordinator, and lists a specific set of cabinet secretaries and senior officials as members.

The order does not itself appropriate funds, change any existing law, or grant enforceable rights. It expressly preserves existing agency authorities and OMB's budgetary and administrative functions, and conditions implementation on applicable law and available appropriations.

All federal executive agencies implementing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, cabinet secretaries named as Task Force members, state and local governments that receive or administer federal infrastructure funds, and communities — particularly disadvantaged communities — targeted for equitable investment under the Justice40 Initiative.

Federal agencies now have a formal White House-led body coordinating how infrastructure dollars are spent, with explicit priorities around union jobs, domestic manufacturing, and environmental justice. State and local governments will interact with a single coordinated federal structure rather than navigating each agency independently.

The Task Force operates within the Executive Office of the President, co-chaired by the National Economic Council Director and a new White House Infrastructure Coordinator. Cabinet secretaries and senior White House advisors are standing members; additional agency heads can be invited by the Co-Chairs as needed. The Co-Chairs can also form subgroups of members or their designees. The order has no enforcement mechanism beyond the coordination function itself — compliance with the six implementation priorities is framed as "as appropriate and to the extent consistent with law."
