What this amendment would do

SA 4284, submitted by Mr. Bennet, aims to add a new section to bill H.R. 7148. The purpose is to require the Secretary of Transportation to issue notices of funding opportunities for specific programs using unobligated and uncommitted funds from title VIII of division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The amendment changes the process for awarding these grants by requiring the Secretary of Transportation to first prioritize applicants who had a previously awarded grant withdrawn, canceled, or terminated after December 15, 2025.

The programs affected by this amendment are:

The consolidated rail infrastructure and safety improvements grant program.
The Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation Grant Program.
The local and regional project assistance program.
Grants to States or localities under the twenty-second proviso in paragraph (2) regarding highway infrastructure programs under the Federal Highway Administration in title VIII of division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
