The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) this week announced that it is $52.5 billion in funding to all 50 states and the District of Columbia under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
FHWA says the $52.5 billion in apportioned funding for FY 2022 represents an increase of more than 20% as compared to FY 2021 for Federal-aid Highway Program apportionments.
In implementing the IIJA, the FHWA believes the Federal-aid Highway Program apportionments—as well as additional formula funding under the Highway Infrastructure Program and discretionary funding to be made available through new and existing program grants—will address long-overdue needs hampering the safety and performance of America’s roads, bridges, and highways.
