AI Summary
This bill establishes the Reconnecting Communities program to help communities identify infrastructural barriers, such as highways and railways, that create obstacles to mobility, economic development, or expose the community to pollution and health risks. The program provides three types of grants: community engagement, education, and capacity building grants; planning and feasibility study grants; and capital construction grants to remove, retrofit, or mitigate these infrastructural barriers. The bill prioritizes projects that benefit communities of color and low-income communities, and requires community engagement and involvement in the planning and implementation of these projects.
