On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. The $1.2 trillion bill covers many aspects of infrastructure from transportation to water to broadband to electricity, with over $567 billion going to discretionary and formula programs under USDOT’s jurisdiction between FY 2022 and FY 2026.

The majority of funding in the bill flows directly to state transportation departments with a significant portion reserved for new, USDOT-administered discretionary grant programs.
