The total funding will come through 11 formula programs that will rebuild our roads and bridges, reduce carbon emissions, and improve safety. The Act was signed into law on November 15, 2021. "This is a historic investment in our state's infrastructure and will provide much-needed support for our roads, highways, and bridges while creating a network of new electric vehicle charging stations. I'm proud to have worked with Senator Stabenow and President Biden to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which made this investment in Michigan's future possible," said Senator Peters. “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden and his partnership with Congress, we are making the largest investment ever to fix our bridges and roads. It will transform how Michiganders get around the state and improve the safety of our bridges and roads for future generations. This funding is a game changer for Michigan and another critical piece of the investments in infrastructure coming to our state,” said Senator Stabenow. The historic investment includes funding for: National Highway Performance Program: $761,748,497 Surface Transportation Block Grant Program: $370,580,350 Highway Safety Improvement Program: $78,473,158 Railway-Highway Crossings Program: $903,681 Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement: $82,248,200 Metropolitan Planning: $13,934,218 National Highway Freight Program: $37,244,408 Carbon Reduction Program: $33,043,414 PROTECT Formula Program: $37,572,730 Bridge Formula Program: $121,633,126 National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program: $23,442,593 More information on each program can be found here. Working with Republicans and Democrats, Senators Peters and Stabenow were instrumental in passing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The Act is transformational for Michigan. It includes unprecedented funding—to rebuild our long-neglected roads and bridges, keep our drinking water safe, bring high-speed internet to Michigan communities, invest in electric vehicles, modernize the Soo Locks, and make the largest single investment ever in the Great Lakes. The Act also strengthens our Buy American laws. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |
