Associations hope the incoming Biden administration will usher in a stimulus package and address the impending September 2021 deadline regarding extension of the federal transportation bill.
A U.S. Dept. of Transportation plan to reshape and rename the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, grants has come under fire from senior Senate appropriators. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who chairs the appropriations subcommittee responsible for DOT’s budget, and Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), the panel’s top Democrat, say DOT’s plan to make states’ and localities’ ability to raise transportation revenue a grant-selection criterion is a bad idea.
在第一轮Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant awards under the Trump administration, the Dept. of Transportation has put a major emphasis on rural projects, awarding such proposals more than 60% of the $487.1 million total it distributed.
Public transportation officials, emphasizing transit’s role in economic development, sustainability and natural-disaster response, are pushing back against a White House proposal to cut $2.4 billion out of the Dept. of Transportation budget, including phasing out capital grants and the TIGER program.
The grant will be used as part of a $230-million project that will construct one tolled express lane in each direction of north I-25 for 14 miles, from State Highway 14 to S.H. 402.
