According to the United States House of Representatives House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, The Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation in America (INVEST in America) Act would dole out the funding over five years to "address some of the country’s most urgent infrastructure needs."
Committee Chair Peter DeFazio (D-OR) unveiled the legislation last week.
The bill calls for providing $319 billion for the federal aid highway program administered by the Federal Highway Administration; $105 billion for Federal Transit Administration programs; $83.1 billion for COVID-19 recovery projects; $60 billion for rail projects; $28 billion for "fix-it-first" bridge repairs; $8.4 billion for carbon reduction programs; and $5.3 billion for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, among other programs.
