BOYLE ANNOUNCES NEW TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE INVESTMENTS COMING TO PA UNDER BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW

Press Release

Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) announced that Pennsylvania will receive $264,847,619 in funding under the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to provide Pennsylvanians with more transportation options, ease congestion in local communities and reduce carbon pollution across the state.

"Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering historic investments in cleaner, more convenient transportation options for Pennsylvanians," said Congressman Boyle. "This deeply needed funding will slash commute times, lower costs for working families, combat harmful carbon pollution and support good-paying, union jobs. I'm proud to have voted for this critical victory for Pennsylvanians, and I will continue partnering with our state and local leaders to put these game-changing investments to work."

The investments total more than $6.4 billion across the country and are administered under the Federal Highway Administration's Carbon Reduction Program, a new initiative established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. As working families grapple with Putin's Price Hike at the pump, this funding will allow Pennsylvanians to deliver more transportation alternatives and reduce commute times. These funds can be invested in a range of eligible projects, including:

Public transit services
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Traffic flow improvements
Congestion management technology
Pedestrian and cycle trails
"By strengthening Pennsylvania's clean transportation infrastructure, this funding will help reduce our reliance on foreign energy and protect working families from rising costs," said Congressman Boyle. "As these investments reach Pennsylvania communities, House Democrats remain laser-focused on fighting Putin's Price Hike by lowering costs, growing paychecks and creating jobs For The People."
