The plan calls for total investment across the five years of $11 billion, with the majority, $8.2 billion, being for the Highway Program. Programs for bus, rail and marine/port would be $2.3 billion, and $488 million would be invested in the aviation program.
Funding for the repair and rebuilding of roads total $4.5 billion over the period, with bridges having $965 million dedicated. Routine maintenance would receive $1.6 billion, with the remainder of the Highway Program funds going to safety and system operations, transportation alternatives, roadside facilities, workforce development and non-federal funded programs.
