Biden administration pushes major grants and policies before Trump's inauguration, focusing on infrastructure and climate.

The Biden administration is rushing to implement key policies and distribute grants before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January to solidify its legacy. Actions include announcing over $3.4 billion in grants for improving rail services, reducing highway deaths, and supporting sustainable transportation. The EPA is setting deadlines for lead pipe removal and providing $3 billion to help water systems comply, while the Energy Department is awarding a $544 million loan for electric vehicle technology. The Pentagon is also working to spend all allocated funds. These efforts aim to ensure ongoing support for infrastructure, climate change, and healthcare initiatives, potentially benefiting millions through improved public services and environmental protections.
