More than eight months after the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law, the U.S. Dept. of Transportation continues to move forward with distributing its portion of the measure's funding and implementing other provisions of the landmark legislation, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and congressional Democrats said at a July 19 House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing.
DOT accounts for by far the largest share of the IIJA's $1.2-trillion funding, receiving $660 billion for highways, bridges, transit, airports and port projects.
