United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Move America Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Our Nation's infrastructure network serves as a 
        foundation of our economic competitiveness and national 
        security. It is imperative that Congress maintain and 
        revitalize the roads, bridges, ports, railways, airports, 
        transit systems, water systems, and information networks of 
        this country, enabling all industries to achieve the growth and 
        productivity that make the United States strong and prosperous.
            (2) Investing in transportation, water, and information 
        infrastructure creates long-term capital assets for the Nation 
        that will improve economic productivity.
            (3) Investment in infrastructure creates jobs and spurs 
        economic activity to put people back to work and grow the 
        economy.
            (4) The cost to maintain and improve our Nation's highways, 
        bridges, and other critical transportation infrastructure 
        significantly exceeds what is currently being provided by all 
        levels of government.
            (5) Investment in our Nation's infrastructure must be 
        multi-faceted, both by ensuring that there is a sustainable 
        long-term funding source for infrastructure and through using 
        innovative financing mechanisms.
            (6) Areas that are underserved by modern broadband 
        connections are disadvantaged, and ensuring that those areas 
        are connected will enable the Nation to benefit from the fuller 
        participation of previously underserved citizens in the 
        national economy.
            (7) Investment in infrastructure is needed throughout the 
        Nation, and it is essential that infrastructure legislation, 
        including but not limited to this legislation, benefit urban 
        and rural areas, and large and small States.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide tools to 
finance additional transportation, water, and information 
infrastructure capital investments, through an approach that provides 
assistance for financing of infrastructure to all States, rural and 
urban, and large and small.
