The Union of Concerned Scientists puts independent science into action and advocacy for a healthy, safe and just future. This project supports the UCS Western States program’s efforts to advance equity in federal infrastructure investments in California. The Biden Administration’s Justice40 initiative aims for 40% of certain investments to benefit disadvantaged communities. Our team analyzed two years of Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law investments against this goal and built a website with an interactive dashboard to hold government accountable to Justice40 outcomes.
