[On Wednesday], Rep. Carbajal announced that the first installments of federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are on their way to the Central Coast. Federal Aviation Administration allocations will deliver $7,381,647 to local airports and California will receive $4,862,447,187 in Federal Highway Administration funds to create jobs improving our roads and bridges. This is the first round of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and represents a 20% increase in federal highway funds compared to last year.
“This new funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will go a long way to improve quality of life on the Central Coast. These federal dollars will put people to work improving our travel infrastructure, which will make our roads safer, cut down on commute times, and help small businesses get their goods to people’s doorsteps,” said Rep. Carbajal. “I was proud to vote for the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and I look forward to seeing more federal resources flow to our communities.”
Congressman Carbajal witnessed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Job Act) be signed into law by President Biden on November 15th, 2021. More information about how the bill will help improve California’s infrastructure can be found here.
