Enacted November 2021, the IIJA includes $351 billion for highways over five years from the Highway Trust Fund and the General Fund, with $307 billion provided as formula apportionments to states.

In the video, Tymon talks about the important bipartisan nature of the IIJA, how state departments of transportation are implementing the measure, and how the IIJA is helping improve mobility networks across the country.
