The Bond Buyer reports that President Obama proposes a $4 billion infrastructure bank to finance worthwhile transportation projects in his fiscal 2011 budget.

Total new obligations for surface transportation — including highways, bridges, and a new “livable communities” initiative — would be $43.4 billion, according to the budget. Interstate maintenance, congestion mitigation and demonstration projects would be pared down, but the federal government would obligate more money to federal-land highways, bridges and other programs.
