The Biden administration on Tuesday announced the awarding of $1.2 billion in grant funding for nine massive transportation projects across the country, the first wave of $5 billion in award decisions that will be based in part on how these projects advance environmental and “equity” goals.
“After receiving over one hundred applications, we are proud to fund these nine infrastructure megaprojects across the country to create jobs, strengthen our supply chains, expand our economy, and renew America’s built landscape,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Buttigieg’s department and the White House announced nine projects that will receive millions in funding, including $292 million to complete an early phase of an Amtrak tunnel in the Hudson River in New York, and bridge repair projects in Ohio, Kentucky, Louisiana and North Carolina.
