The Surface Transportation Investment Act (STIA) provided $78 billion over five years for multimodal surface transportation, rail, freight, and safety programs. The spending is an increase over the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act authorization levels.
This legislation creates new programs and updates existing programs to ensure that the U.S. Department of Transportation, states, local governments, and transportation providers can comprehensively solve the biggest transportation challenges. It also invests in the U.S. passenger rail system to ensure passengers in both rural and urban areas have better access to rail service.
