Tracking Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Investments
On November 15th, 2021, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), also known as the Investment in Infrastructure and Jobs Act, which includes billions of dollars in competitive funding available to States, counties, and cities across dozens of new and existing programs to rebuild roads, bridges and rails; expand access to clean drinking water; ensure access to high-speed internet; to tackle the climate crisis and advance environmental justice, while investing in communities – both urban and rural – that have too often been left behind.

This is a shared endeavor no one can do alone, and investing federal infrastructure dollars will require significant coordination between cities, states, Tribal governments, community stakeholders, and other key partners.
