 | John,
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) set a new standard for public transportation growth and development, providing a historic level of investment for public transit initiatives across the country. Today, we can see how the IIJA’s investment has been put to work through new public transportation projects nationwide.
Over the last three years, the IIJA has been a cornerstone of public transit development. From Arizona to New Jersey, the IIJA’s investment in our nation’s public transportation networks is reimagining what flexible, accessible, and sustainable mobility options can be. You can read more about these IIJA-funded projects in our latest blog, "Public Transit at Work: IIJA Projects Shaping Our Communities." 
When the IIJA was signed into law, it marked a significant step forward for public transportation. The IIJA allocated $108 billion for communities of all sizes to create, expand, and improve their public transit systems. Additionally, $102 billion was allocated to support commuter rail, Amtrak, and other high-performance rail projects. As we continue down the road for public transit investment, we’re seeing how those federal allocations are being implemented in our communities.
Thanks to the IIJA's historic investment, expanded transit systems and new projects are making public transit more accessible, helping Americans reach vital economic, job, and entertainment opportunities. To learn more about current IIJA-funded projects, read our latest blog.
Best,
