A leaked draft of the White House's infrastructure plan has surfaced over at Axios, and although specific funding numbers are not attached, the document offers the first details in what has so far been a fairly confusing process.

A key detail of the plan is that it prioritizes "projects associated with new, non-federal revenue", transportation expert Yonah Freemark writes, with that accounting for 70 percent of the scoring criteria.
