Infrastructure can (should) include light rail systems in municipal areas and nationwide rapid rail systems like those in some European countries. I've talked to travelers who say with some delight and admiration that one can travel swiftly and easily around most of Europe on public transportation alone.

Repair and update existing roads, but build transportation systems that don't depend on fossil fuels. It can be done. It HAS been done elsewhere. Get people out of their cars and into public transportation.
