President Joe Biden has signed into law a $1.5-trillion omnibus spending package that opens the door for state transportation agencies—and eventually construction companies—to gain access to the full funding increases for highway and transit programs authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The wide-ranging legislation, which Biden signed on March 15 in a White House ceremony, also includes increases over 2021 levels for many key construction and infrastructure programs, though not across the board.
