What the Infrastructure Bill Has Planned for Public Transit

Learn about the funding provided by the infrastructure act and how the funds are proposed to be distributed across the infrastructure systems.

Learn about the magnitude of funding provided by the infrastructure act and how the funds are proposed to be distributed over the many categories of infrastructure systems. Learn how the Infrastructure Bill authorizes $33.5B for the Urbanized Area Formula Funding program (the program makes federal resources available to urbanized areas and governors for transit capital and operating assistance in urbanized areas and for transportation-related planning). For eligible grantees, funding is made available to designated recipients that are public bodies with the legal authority to receive and dispense federal funds. Governors, responsible local officials, and publicly owned operators of transit services shall designate a recipient to apply for, receive, and dispense funds for urbanized areas. You will learn how the Act authorizes $8B for the Capital Investments Grants (CIG) Program. This FTA discretionary grant program provides funding for fixed guideway investments such as new and expanded rapid rail, commuter rail, light rail, streetcars, bus rapid transit, and ferries. It also provides funding for corridor-based bus rapid transit investments that emulate the features of rail.
