What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "REPAIR Infrastructure Act," seeks to reauthorize and improve the reconnecting communities program. It authorizes $3,000,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2027 through 2031 to fund the REPAIR infrastructure program. The funding is divided into $750,000,000 for planning grants and $2,250,000,000 for capital construction grants. The act updates selection criteria to prioritize projects that promote affordable transportation, community participation, and economic stability. It also defines "divisive roadway infrastructure" and establishes specific restrictions on how grant funds can be used.
