His past statements and those of his administration:
12/08/08, USA TODAY - “The president-elect declined to say Sunday how much his economic stimulus plan would cost. Obama called it the largest public-works program since the creation of the interstate highway system in the 1950s.
“The plan includes spending on what Obama called ‘shovel-ready’ projects to rebuild roads, make buildings energy efficient, modernize schools and upgrade hospital technology.”
12/10/08, NPR – “Mr. Obama maintains states have projects that are ‘shovel ready.’ The Missouri Department of Transportation says with federal money, it could start $510 million of highway and other construction projects within six months.”
12/23/08, Renewable Energy World – “When the President-elect recently met with the nation's governors, they told him the states have $136 billion worth of road, bridge, water and other projects ‘shovel ready’ to go as soon as money becomes available.”

“’When I met with the governors, all of them have projects that are shovel-ready’” – Barack Obama
“Also in December of 2008, he said, ‘My economic team … is helping to shape what is going to be a bold agenda to create 2.5 million new jobs, to start helping states and local governments with shovel-ready projects’.
“In March of 2009, Biden spoke about the global economic crisis at the Progressive Governance Conference in Chile. He said, ‘The Recovery Act … provides a necessary jolt to our economy to implement what we refer [to] as “shovel-ready” projects.’ Three months later, Biden told Californians that the administration wants ‘to get shovel-ready projects out the door as quickly as we can.’
“There is more folks. February of 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said, ‘With wise investments in shovel-ready conservation projects across the country, we can immediately put people back to work’.”
