“ Home Energy: In Hawaii, an average low-income family spends 6–8% of their income on home energy costs forcing tough choices between paying energy bills and buying food, medicine or other essentials. The American Jobs Plan will upgrade low-income homes to make them more energy efficient through a historic investment in the Weatherization Assistance Program, a new Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator to finance building improvements, and expanded tax credits to support home energy upgrades. ”

“ Even where infrastructure is available, broadband may be too expensive to be within reach. 12% of Hawaii households do not have an internet subscription. The American Jobs Plan will invest $100 billion to bring universal, reliable, high-speed, and affordable coverage to every family in America. ”

“ The American Jobs Plan will devote more than $600 billion to transform our nations' transportation infrastructure and make it more resilient, including $115 billion repairing roads and bridges. Public Transportation: Hawaiians who take public transportation spend an extra 77.2% of their time commuting and non-White households are 2.2 times more likely to commute via public transportation. 20% of trains and other transit vehicles in the state are past useful life. The American Jobs Plan will modernize public transit with an $85 billion investment. ”
