REPAIR Infrastructure Act

The REPAIR Infrastructure Act (S 3413) reauthorizes a federal program providing $3 billion annually (2027-2031) from the Highway Trust Fund to fund infrastructure projects that restore community connectivity and improve resilience. It allocates $750 million yearly for planning grants and $2.25 billion for capital construction grants, directly affecting state, local, and tribal governments applying for these funds. Key provisions require projects to avoid increasing highway travel lanes and prioritize affordable transportation access, community engagement, and preventing displacement in low-income areas - such as creating safe mobility options to jobs, healthcare, and housing. The program specifically targets "divisive roadway infrastructure" (e.g., highways separating neighborhoods) and mandates applicants demonstrate how projects address historic barriers and support underserved communities.
