Infrastructure: Building a safe, equitable and sustainable transportation future

Road construction

There is a nationwide backlog of projects to repair roads and bridges and improve safety and economic competitiveness. Because of the funds in the infrastructure law, the U.S. Department of Transportation is now funding more of these projects via our competitive grant programs, and we are providing States, Tribes, US Territories and local governments far more funding to deliver projects as well.

The Office of the Under Secretary for Policy oversees the investments to our transportation systems that provide safe and modern roads, bridges, railroads, pedestrian paths and airways for every American.
