 Infrastructure Funding Information
Infrastructure Funding Facts and Resources
In late 2021, the U.S. government passed the largest infrastructure spending bill in its history. The $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), commonly known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), aims to provide a once-in-a-generation investment in the nation’s infrastructure. BIL aims to:
- rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails;
- expand access to clean drinking water;
- expand broadband coverage throughout the nation;
- prepare infrastructure for impacts from climate crisis, cyber attacks and extreme weather;
- make improvements to ports, airports, rails and roads to strengthen the supply chain; and
- create new jobs to grow the economy.
