WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — States leveraged their fiscal yr 2022 federal freeway system funds to jumpstart almost 25,000 new enchancment initiatives in communities throughout America through the first yr of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), a assessment of U.S. Treasury Department knowledge by way of August 31 reveals.
“A key takeaway from the Treasury data is that the bipartisan infrastructure law is working in year one as intended, with state transportation departments disbursing their funds and projects breaking ground,” mentioned American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Chief Economist Dr. Alison Premo Black, who reviewed and compiled the information for the report.
“The economic and quality of life benefits of the infrastructure law will become even more apparent as funding continues in coming years,” provides ARTBA Chair Paula Hammond, a WSP USA senior vice chairman. “The beneficiaries of these long-term investments will be the American traveling public in their communities.”
President Joe Biden signed the IIJA into regulation Nov. 15, 2021. Nearly 90 % of IIJA’s freeway funds are dispersed by present system to states, with the rest distributed by way of discretionary grant awards and different allotted applications.
