Bill > HR2088

This bill establishes a Thriving Communities Program, which would be jointly administered by the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The program aims to provide technical assistance and capacity building support to help rapidly growing communities develop transformative infrastructure projects. Under the bill, the Secretary of Transportation would be required to submit a report to Congress detailing the program's methods for promoting transit-oriented development, the level of coordination between the two agencies, and the metrics used to distribute funding. The bill authorizes $100 million annually for the Department of Transportation to implement the program and an additional $5.5 million for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to facilitate inter-agency coordination. The goal of this program appears to be supporting sustainable urban development by helping communities strategically plan and implement infrastructure improvements that integrate transportation and housing needs.
