REPAIR Infrastructure Act

This bill renames the federal Reconnecting Communities pilot as the REPAIR Infrastructure program and authorizes $3 billion a year from the Highway Trust Fund for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. Of each year's amount, $750 million would go to planning grants and $2.25 billion to construction grants. It adds new factors for judging grant applications, such as community participation, transportation access, and steps to prevent displacement of residents, and bars grant money from projects that add travel lanes to existing highways. It also lets several other federal highway programs fund projects eligible under the REPAIR program and changes how certain States must use Carbon Reduction Program funds.
