Mission

Through the Let’s Rebuild America initiative, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce advocates for the need to modernize and expand our nation’s infrastructure. This initiative focuses on driving public awareness, expanding research efforts, and building strong political action toward four key goals:
  • Establish infrastructure as a core economic issue and a high priority at all levels of government.
  • Engage the public to support sound policies and greater public and private infrastructure investment.
  • Remove obstacles to private investment in infrastructure capacity and promote policies that streamline project delivery.
  • Ensure adequate public sector investment guided by effective policies and programs.
