Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Key Programs under the Federal Highway Administration Office of OperationsContact InformationLydia Conrad On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act(IIJA)(Public Law 117-58, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) into law. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in our Nation’s history. It provides $550 billion over fiscal years 2022 through 2026 in new Federal investment in infrastructure, including in roads, bridges, and mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience, and broadband. This web site will be your one-stop shop for information about the portions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law related to the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Operations. We will add information on a regular basis as implementation progresses, and we invite you to visit the site often. For further information about all the FHWA-related sections of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, please visit https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bipartisan-infrastructure-law/. For additional details regarding the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including provisions that impact other agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation, please refer to the USDOT site at https://www.transportation.gov/bipartisan-infrastructure-law. Transportation ManagementAdvanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Development (ATTIMD)/Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) FY 2022
Note: ATTAIN was previously named the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Program under the FAST Act. For past ATCMTD milestones under the FAST Act, go to the FHWA Office of Operations FAST Act webpage here: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/fastact/. Program Manager: Jim Garling, Email: Jim.Garling@dot.gov Congestion Relief Grant Program The Congestion Relief Grant Program is a new program created as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that will fund projects in the most congested, highly populated metropolitan areas of the United States. The goals of the program are to reduce highway congestion, reduce economic and environmental costs associated with that congestion, including transportation emissions, and optimize existing highway capacity and usage of highway and transit systems. Program Manager: Frank Corrado, Email: frank.corrado@dot.gov National Motor Vehicle Per-Mile User Fee Pilot (IIJA Section 13002) The National Mileage-Based User Fee Pilot enacted under Section 13002 of the Bill will establish a pilot program to demonstrate a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee pilot test to (1) restore and maintain the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF); and (2) improve and maintain the surface transportation system. To ensure public feedback and interest for the program, The Secretary of Transportation is establishing a Federal Systems Funding Alternate Advisory Board and a Public Awareness Campaign with guidance from the Advisory Board. The DOT/FHWA is in the process of taking the first steps in establishing an advisory board. In response to an inquiry as to the status of the program, FHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt identified posting of the FACA Advisory Board Charter, which is the first public step required to kick off the Advisory Board for the program.

Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities (RTEPF) Grant Program The RTEPF Grant Program is a new program created as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that will 1) study how ports and intermodal port transfer facilities would benefit from increased opportunities to reduce emissions at ports, including through the electrification of port operations, 2) study emerging technologies and strategies that may help reduce port-related emissions from idling trucks, and 3) coordinate and provide funding to test, evaluate, and deploy projects that reduce port-related emissions from idling trucks, including through the advancement of port electrification and improvements in efficiency, focusing on port operations, including heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and other related projects.
Program Manager: Chip Millard, Email: Chip.Millard@dot.gov Strategic Innovation for Revenue Collection (SIRC) Program The SIRC Program enacted under Section 13001 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funds pilot projects through competitive grant awards to test the feasibility of a road usage fee and other user-based alternative revenue mechanisms to help maintain the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. Funds are made available for pilot projects through the Highway Research and Development Program Section 503(b) of title 23, United States Code to conduct feasibility research, tests, evaluations, and/or deploy activities related to user-based alternative revenue mechanisms adoption and implementation.
