Signed on January 24, 2017, this order establishes a new system by which to fast-track the construction of infrastructure projects.

[1] The executive order came as a precursor to an expected larger infrastructure spending proposal, which has been polled as one of Trump's most important campaign promises.

[2] The signing of this executive order came on the same day that Trump signed Presidential memoranda intended to permit the construction of the Keystone XL, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and stipulated that all new pipelines in the United States must be constructed using materials and equipment produced in the United States.

[5] The executive order is broken down into four sections: In his speech to a joint session of Congress on February 28, 2017, Trump called for one trillion dollars of new infrastructure spending.

[6] This executive order is expected to streamline the construction of projects that come out of that spending package, should it pass the Congress.
