Member Designated Projects

Member Designated Projects

The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure will advance surface transportation authorization legislation later this spring, building on H.R. 2, the “Moving Forward Act,” from the 116th Congress. Members seeking to submit requests for highway and transit designations should utilize the resources below to assist in preparation of project requests and the documentation required. Only Members and approved staff of the U.S. House of Representatives will be allowed access to the secure website to transmit requests to the Committee for consideration. Stakeholder groups with inquiries regarding this process should meet with the Member whose district is home to the project in question.

The deadline to submit Member Designated Projects has now passed.
 

NEW on 6/7/2021: The table with approved Member Designated Projects can be found in section 107 of Division A of H.R. 3684 (pg. 47) linked here.

The Committee requires Members to publicly post all their submitted Member Designated Project requests on their official House website. The Committee is also providing the below consolidated table of submitted projects that contains the same information that is required to be posted on the Member’s website. All project requests posted will undergo careful evaluation by the Committee, in compliance with all required House Rules and previously provided member guidance, and only select projects may be funded from this list.
