BUILD America 250 Act

The BUILD America 250 Act builds on the historic investments of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to create good-paying jobs, grow the economy and build safe, efficient transportation across America.

This bill preserves the BIL’s guaranteed funding levels for highways and transit while protecting programs important to local governments, investing in safety, supporting transportation workers and continuing Buy America protections and the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program.

Included among the BUILD America 250 Act's investments are:

  • $580 billion in authorized and guaranteed funding.
  • $473.8 billion in guaranteed funding via the Highway Trust Fund.
  • $87.5 billion in guaranteed transit funding, comparable to the BIL.
  • $64 billion in authorized funding for Amtrak and competitive rail grant programs.
  • $45 billion in guaranteed bridge funding—a $5 billion increase from the BIL.
  • $12 billion for a new Surface Transportation Accelerator Grant program available to local communities of all sizes.
  • $8.3 billion for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure through the Transportation Alternatives Program.
  • $4 billion for the All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP), an increase of $250 million from the BIL, to bring more transit stations into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
