Legislation to help localities gain access to funding for infrastructure projects was recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Under the Helping Communities Invest in Infrastructure Act, sponsored by Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.), emphasis on localities would be enhanced to improve access to mobility options.
Specifically, the legislation would increase outreach efforts to certain communities in order to provide greater information regarding funding options. An information campaign would be dedicated to inform local officials of best practices for accessing such funding. Rural projects would see an increase in funding opportunities via accessible loans.
