Bill > HR5267

This bill, the Neighborhood Access and Equity Grants Act, authorizes $3.95 billion in funding for the Federal Highway Administration to establish a program providing grants to state and local governments, as well as other eligible entities, to improve walkability, safety, and affordable transportation access. The grants can be used to remove, replace, or retrofit certain surface transportation facilities that create barriers within communities, particularly in economically disadvantaged or underserved areas. The bill also provides funding for planning and capacity-building activities in these communities, such as assessing environmental impacts, developing anti-displacement policies, and expanding public participation in transportation planning.
