Today, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced more than $4.2 billion in funding for a total of 44 projects that improve safety, mobility, constructing major bridges, expanding port capacity and redesigning interchanges.
This round of funding was made possible by two major discretionary grant programs funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the National Infrastructure Project Assistance (Mega) grant program and the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant program.
“Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Biden-Harris administration is carrying out ambitious, complex transportation projects that will shape our country’s infrastructure for generations to come,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, in a statement. “With this latest round of awards, dozens of major and much-needed projects – projects that are often difficult to fund through other means – are getting the long-awaited investments they need to move forward.”
Since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration, nearly $12.8 billion in funding through the INFRA and Mega programs has been announced for 140 projects across 42 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.
In today’s round of selections for the INFRA program, $2.58 billion will be invested in 36 projects that will improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of freight.
