Overview
Signed into law on November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) represents a transformative investment in our nation's infrastructure, economic competitiveness, and communities. Under the IIJA, PennDOT will receive over $4 billion in additional highway and bridge funds over five years—enabling historic improvements to Pennsylvania's transportation system.
PennDOT created this web page to help partner organizations throughout the Commonwealth find a one-stop shop for information regarding the many new competitive grant programs and resources available through IIJA. Our goal is to help local partners succeed by helping them identify and apply for the right programs.
