A BILL To establish a program to improve community connectivity by identifying and removing or mitigating infrastructural barriers that create obstacles to mobility or economic development or expose the community to pollution and other health and safety risks, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a program to help communities identify and remove or mitigate infrastructural barriers, such as highways and railways, that create obstacles to mobility, economic development, or expose the community to pollution and health/safety risks. The program will provide three types of grants: community engagement and capacity building grants, planning and feasibility study grants, and capital construction grants. The grants aim to improve community connectivity, redevelop land freed up by barrier removal, and ensure equity in the activities. The bill prioritizes projects that benefit communities of color and low-income communities, and requires community support for capital construction projects. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation to study the impacts of highway removals and make recommendations on traffic forecasting and environmental reviews.
