State and local government levels are encouraged to apply for federal grants from a $848 million project to make surface transportation such as roads, bridges and ports more resilient to extreme weather and climate change.
“Climate change threatens not just our lives and livelihoods, but the infrastructure we rely on every day,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said April 21. “With these grants, we will help ensure that our roads, bridges and highways are resilient enough to withstand extreme weather and will create good-paying jobs along the way.”
