landrieu, a former mayor of New Orleans, added, "And they’re going to drive sweeping change, saving lives and spurring economic growth.”

About 43% of the new INFRA awards are going to projects in rural areas, Landrieu said. That exceeds the statutory rural set-aside of 25% of the funds.

Strong Competition for DOT's Discretionary Grants

Besides increasing INFRA funding, the IIJA widened the types of projects eligible for the program's grants. Possible projects now include wildlife crossings for infrastructure assets and surface transportation projects that are in or connected to an international border crossing.
