Bill Summary
TIGER Grants for Job Creation Act - Makes supplemental appropriations of $500 million for each of FY2013 and FY2014 for the Department of Transportation (DOT) for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) competitive grant program for national infrastructure investment projects for states, local governments, and transit agencies.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the TIGER Grants for Job Creation Act, proposes to provide supplemental appropriations of $500 million for fiscal year 2013 and another $500 million for fiscal year 2014 to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program. The TIGER program is a competitive grant initiative that funds national infrastructure investment projects, aiming to create jobs by supporting improvements to roads, bridges, and transit systems. These funds are intended to address significant shortfalls in infrastructure investment and are designated as an emergency requirement, contingent on the President's designation. The bill highlights the ongoing economic struggles and high unemployment rates as justification for these additional investments, noting that existing TIGER appropriations are insufficient to meet the demand for transportation infrastructure projects.
