This year, Congress is working to develop and advance surface transportation authorization legislation to provide continued funding for federal highway and transit programs. These programs are the nation's main source of infrastructure funding, and allocate funds to states to maintain, fix, upgrade, or expand our roads, highways, bridges, and public transportation systems.
As part of the process, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has provided Members of Congress the opportunity to submit highway or transit project requests for dedicated funding in the surface transportation authorization bill. This process allows Members to work with their local governments, transit agencies, or state departments of transportation to identify and put forward high-impact local infrastructure projects.
The T&I Committee process for considering member projects is separate and distinct from the House Committee on Appropriations’ process for considering Community Project Funding requests. Projects funded through the surface transportation authorization will be funded directly from the Highway Trust Fund, and they do not require a separate or subsequent appropriation.
Project Eligibility
Capital projects eligible under title 23, United States Code and chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code, are eligible for funding requests under T&I’s project submission process.
Transparency
All requests submitted by Congresswoman Scanlon to the T&I Committee are posted below. Congresswoman Scanlon certifies that neither she nor her immediate family has a financial interest in the requests made.
