Boosts funding for projects that reconnect communities and improve local transportation access.
This bill would rename and expand a federal program that helps communities fix transportation barriers. It would set aside $3 billion each year for five years to pay for projects that improve local access and prevent displacement. It would also stop funding projects that add new highway travel lanes.
Today, the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program exists with specific funding through the government's budget year 2026. If this bill becomes law, the program would be renamed the REPAIR Infrastructure Program and reauthorized with $3 billion annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It would also introduce new selection criteria, focusing on community benefits and preventing displacement. Additionally, it would prohibit funding for projects that increase highway travel lanes and expand eligibility for REPAIR projects under several other federal highway programs.
