Carter, Sr. announced that Louisiana will receive $118.34 million in funding under the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This initiative will provide Louisianians with more transportation options, ease congestion in local communities and reduce carbon pollution across the state.\n\nThe investments total more than $6.4 billion across the country and are administered under the Federal Highway Administration\u2019s Carbon Reduction Program, a new initiative established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. As working families grapple with Putin\u2019s Price Hike at the pump, this funding will allow Louisiana to deliver more transportation alternatives and reduce commute times.\n\n\u201cOur Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering historic investments in cleaner, more convenient transportation options for Louisianans,\u201d said Congressman Carter. \u201cThis deeply needed funding will slash commute times, lower costs for working families, combat harmful carbon pollution and support good-paying, union jobs. I\u2019m proud to have voted for this critical victory for Louisianians, and I will continue partnering with our state and local leaders to put these game-changing investments to work.\u201d\n\nThese funds can be invested in a range of eligible projects, including:\n\nPublic transit services\n\nElectric vehicle charging infrastructure\n\nTraffic flow improvements\n\nCongestion management technology\n\nPedestrian and cycle trails\n\n\u201cBy strengthening Louisiana\u2019s clean transportation infrastructure, this funding will help reduce our reliance on foreign energy and protect working families from rising costs,\u201d said Congressman Carter. \u201cAs these investments reach Louisiana communities, Congressional Democrats remain laser-focused on fighting Putin\u2019s Price Hike: lowering costs, growing paychecks and creating jobs for the people.\u201d\n\nMore details on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\u2019s Carbon Reduction Program here, and the state-by-state funding allocations are here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:19:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carter-announces-new-transportation-climate-investments-headed"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6135410405695438, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
