On Monday, March 7, Eastgate presented an overview of funding opportunities available through the Infrastructure, Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA).
The IIJA was approved by Congress and signed by President Biden on November 15, reauthorizing the FAST Act for five years, through 2026. The IIJA funding consists of $1.2T over ten years, of which $567B goes to transportation.
$550B – about half -- is new spending (above baseline), of which $284B goes to surface transportation.
Eastgate's role is to provide information on funding opportunities, assist with grant applications, and assist those who have questions.
