美国运输部门继续法则ase more Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, with the latest action being the allocation by DOT’s Federal Transit Administration of $20.2 billion in funds distributed to the states by formula.

The new apportionment, which DOT announced on April 6, reflects the full amount of formula transit aid that the IIJA authorized for fiscal year 2022, the act’s first year.

上年11月15日,IIJA成为法律,但缺乏全年2022年的拨款措施禁止自由贸易协定攻击基础设施所提供的所有过境资金。

2月,自由贸易协定表现从IIIA中分摊47亿美元,但大约2022年的立法仍然很短。

In a media briefing, Mitch Landrieu, the White House’s infrastructure coordinator, called the apportionments “a historic sum of annual funding for transit systems that will have an extraordinary impact on our daily lives.”

前新奥尔良市长的Landrieu说:“这项投资将使过境机构能够使社区居民的现代化和扩大服务的现代化和扩大。”

DOT秘书PETE Buttigieg表示,200亿美元的级别增加了58%,并“也代表了美国历史上最大的过境资金分配。”

The enactment on March 15 of a $1.5-trillion omnibus spending package cleared the way for the release of the full IIJA amount for transit.

纽约在新的过境资金拨款中排名第一,大约22亿美元。

加利福尼亚州的第二次,其次约20亿美元,其次是伊利诺伊州,新泽西州的854亿美元,达到8.35亿美元,德克萨斯州,64.7亿美元。

Pennsylvania ranks sixth, with $618 million; Massachusetts is next, with $537 million, followed by Florida, at $531 million, Washington, with $370 million and Maryland, No. 10, with $348 million.

美国公共交通协会副总裁沃克麦卡拉拉格(政府事务协会副总裁)在接受采访时表示,FTA对202亿美元的公式资金分摊“真的是现在是两党基础设施​​法的承诺的第一个批评。”

He adds, "This is going to change the face of public transportation in our communities for the future."

McCarragher says, "It is truly a sea change in the level of funding for public transportation. It allows these communities and transit systems to immediately begin to put these funds to work, and help reshape their communities in the wake of the pandemic, and address equity issues, tackle climate change and create opportunities in ways that they've only envisioned in the past."
