"Federal Grants and Funding Allocated for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Across the US"

The US Department of Transportation is allocating nearly $830 million in grants to 80 projects across 39 states and territories to bolster infrastructure against climate change, including refurbishing bridges, expanding evacuation routes, and protecting coastal infrastructure. The funding, made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to address the intensifying risks posed by climate change to the nation's transportation infrastructure, with a focus on resilience and adaptation. This initiative reflects a broader effort to invest in infrastructure that can withstand the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events.
