Invest in America’s Roads, Bridges and Transit Systems
We are working to secure a timely surface transportation reauthorization bill that strengthens safety, lowers everyday costs, and supports new jobs and economic growth.
About the Bill
A surface transportation reauthorization bill provides critical funding and sets policy for maintaining the safety and efficiency of our nation's roads, highways, bridges, transit, and multimodal infrastructure. This legislation is imperative to our economy and way of life.
With the current authorization law set to expire on September 30, 2026, Congress must pass the next multi-year reauthorization now to modernize our infrastructure, strengthen American competitiveness, support families, and create high-paying jobs.
By the Numbers
4.19 million miles of road, 48,700+ miles of Interstate, 620,000+ bridges strengthened by federal investment in surface transportation projects
4.4 million jobs created through ongoing transportation construction, design, and maintenance work
$650 billion in economic activity generated through ongoing transportation construction, design, and maintenance work
43 hours – the average time American drivers lose to traffic, and the time Congress can help recover through smart policies and sustained investment
What We’re Calling For
A robust, multi-year surface transportation reauthorization will:
- Grow current investment levels wherever Americans move
- Stabilize Highway Trust Fund revenues
- Build on the programs that work
- Accelerate projects without cutting corners
- Unlock new investment options and improved project financing tools
- Keep Buy America rules practical
- Protect workers in construction zones and prioritize work zone safety
- Keep projects, jobs, and local businesses on track
- Build stronger by planning for the future
