MZ Strategies analysis of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law on November 15, 2021 focuses on its potential to advance transportation equity and support equitable transit oriented development. The bill provides historic funding levels, several important new discretionary grant programs, but little policy change. The likely result will be expansion of our status quo system unless planners, engineers, and community advocates come together to reform, rethink and reprioritize our nation’s infrastructure. The bill creates that potential, but it is a heavy lift that requires all hands on deck.
