特朗普总统在有些勉强签署了2018财年的1.3亿澳元的支出方案，其中包括一系列联邦基础设施计划，包括高速公路，机场，饮酒水和废水治疗工厂和退伍军人的健康设施。

这项立法是两党谈判的产物，于3月22日以256-167的投票清除了众议院。参议院在3月23日凌晨以65-32的投票效法（查看法案文字这里.). Trump signed the measure later that day.

In the morning, however, Trump had posted a tweet threatening to veto the spending package, for not providing as much funding for a border wall as he wanted and for omitting assistance to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

Enactment of the spending bill averted a partial government shutdown at midnight on March 23.

For the construction industry, the focus is on the omnibus measure's infrastructure dollars. The legislation draws on a recent bipartisan budget deal that included an additional $10 billion in fiscal 2018 for infrastructure, but left it up to appropriations committees to fill in the specifics.

Appropriators spread the $10 billion, plus another $11 billion, across a variety of infrastructure programs. (View fact sheet这里.) Steve Hall, American Council of Engineering Companies vice president for government affairs, says, "We could make a strong case that across the board they could be 'plussed-up' much, much more, but it's a good first step."

Transportation accounts are major beneficiaries, receiving $8.7 billion in additional funds. Within transportation, highways leads the way, with a $3.5-billion increase from 2017 levels.

Of that total, about $1 billion would come from the Highway Trust Fund to meet the $44.2-billlion authorized level set in the 2015 Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act. The other $2.5 billion would come from the general fund, with most of those dollars to be divided among the states according to their shares of the overall highway obligations.

Joung Lee, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials policy director, says, "We would have liked to see more than the $2.5 billion going towards the federal-aid highway program, but obviously that is still very helpful."

Lee also notes that the final version didn't include an $800-million highway funding rescission that House appropriators had recommended.

The omnibus does increase highway dollars, but Lee says that "it doesn't get to the big-picture question...of the long-term solvency of the [Highway] Trust Fund, which admittedly requires a much, much bigger fix."

Dean Franks, American Road & Transportation Builders Association senior vice president for congressional relations, says the omnibus bill's additional $3.5 billion for highways is a increase of about 8%. He adds, "I think that sets a new baseline, moving forward, on where the investment should be at a minimum."

Other transportation gains include $1 billion for Federal Aviation Administration airport grants—by far the largest hike for that program in recent memory—and $1 billion for the routinely oversubscribed Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants.

弗兰克斯说，Artba一直在推动增加机场赠款计划已有十多年了。他说：“在那里获得十亿美元将是很棒的，尤其是对于非集线器和乡村机场而言。”

Industry officials were disappointed, however, that the final package didn't include an increase in the maximum airport passenger facility charge, which is now $4.50. Those fees are another important revenue source for aviation infrastructure projects. Senate appropriators had recommended a PFC hike but it wasn't included in the final bill.

全国清洁水机构协会指出，环境保护局的水基础设施资金也将攀升，废水处理和饮酒水国家循环资金增加了3亿美元。NACWA表示，这笔6亿美元是“多年来这些计划中最重要的新资金”。

Water-related groups also point to the separate $63-million allocation for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act federal loan program, or WIFIA. Tracy Mehan, American Water Works Association executive director of government affairs, said in a statement, "There is a compelling need to replace and expand America’s water and wastewater infrastructure, and WIFIA is crucial to success in renewing these assets.”

陆军工程兵团的民事工程计划将获得7.89亿美元的加息。

Dept. of Veterans Affairs health-care facilities would receive a massive $2-billion boost, including $1 billion for "non-recurring maintenance."

此外，该包装的总体国防支出中有些$ 6111亿美元将用于军事建设。根据众议院拨款委员会fact sheet，这项措施从2017年的水平上加了24亿美元，即24亿美元，即31％。

The measure also allocates $1.6 billion for border infrastructure, including $1.3 billion for new or replacement fencing or barriers.

此外，该立法将延长FAA计划的授权，包括机场赠款，持续六个月。（请参阅Bill Text，M。）扩展名将持续到9月。当前的Stopgap FAA法案将于3月28日到期。
