Bill Summary

The federal government would create a grant program to fund projects that strengthen transportation infrastructure—like roads, bridges, and transit systems—against damage from natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes. States, cities, and transportation agencies could apply for these grants to test new methods and technologies that make their infrastructure more resilient and better able to withstand extreme weather and other natural hazards. This would help communities protect their transportation networks and reduce costly disruptions when natural disasters occur.
