The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recently launched a website on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The website is aimed at transportation agencies, communities and stakeholders, and will provide information on grants and other discretionary funding opportunities available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“FHWA is committed to providing easily accessible information on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as the first of many steps we’re taking to deliver the largest transportation investment in generations,” Stephanie Pollack, deputy federal highway administrator, said. “As this website is expanded and updated, it will be a great asset for states, counties, cities, towns, and tribes seeking to take advantage of both formula and grant programs to modernize their infrastructure, improve safety and create good-paying jobs.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law can improve infrastructure, the environment, equity, and the quality of life for millions of Americans, but to realize its full potential, we need to hear from the public, especially on how FHWA should address the opportunities and challenges associated with both changes to existing programs and the creation of new programs,” Pollack said.
FHWA also seeks suggestions on how best to facilitate FHWA’s implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
