Texas is in line to receive billions of dollars in infrastructure funding if the House passes the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act when it reconvenes on August 23.
Based on formula funding alone, Texas would expect to receive $26.9 billion for federal-aid highway apportioned programs and $537 million for bridge replacement and repairs over five years.
In addition, the state may compete for the $12.5 billion Bridge Investment Program for economically significant bridges and nearly $16 billion of national funding in the bill dedicated for major projects that will deliver substantial economic benefits to communities.
A day after the Senate passed the historic $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pledged federal support for Texas’ transportation needs as he toured Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Area Rapid Transit construction sites on August 11.
Buttigieg was joined by Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Colin Allred as he spoke with Rep. Marc Veasey and Texas Department of Transportation officials.
