WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) recently announced nearly $1.5 billion in proposed grants through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) discretionary grant program. According to a press release, Secretary Elaine L. Chao was quoted saying, "These INFRA grants will empower states and communities to make significant long-term infrastructure improvements that will shape transportation and mobility for decades to come.”
INFRA grants support Trump Administration’s commitment to fixing our nation’s crumbling infrastructure by creating opportunities for all levels of government and the private sector to fund infrastructure, using innovative approaches to improve the necessary processes for building significant projects, and increasing accountability for the projects that are built. INFRA's mission is to provide dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical issues facing our nation’s highways and bridges.
