Key Points

Would keep a federal grant program going for 5 more years (2027–2031) to fix transportation projects that split up neighborhoods, like highways and viaducts.
Sets aside $3 billion each year: $750 million for planning and $2.25 billion for construction projects.
Tells the Transportation Department to favor projects that improve safe, affordable ways to get to daily needs (jobs, schools, healthcare), including access for people with disabilities.
Pushes applicants to show strong community input and steps to protect affordability and reduce displacement, like help for renters, homeowners, and small businesses.
Bars using these grants to add travel lanes on existing highways, steering money toward reconnecting areas instead of widening roads.
