On November 5, 2021, the U.S House of Representatives passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), bipartisan legislation to invest in the nation’s infrastructure, including funding for roads and bridges, rail, transit, ports, airports, the electric grid, water systems, broadband, and other priorities. The legislation will provide $1.2 trillion in total spending over five years, including $550 billion in new funding, with roughly half of both the total and the new funding going to USDOT.
