2022 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

The Department’s FY 2022 Budget requests $88 billion to provide the foundation for a once in a generation investment in our Nation’s Infrastructure. The Budget prioritizes the Department’s key principles: safety as the foundation of all we do; economic strength and creating good-paying jobs; equitable access to opportunity; resilience and addressing climate change; and transformative infrastructure. The FY 2022 President’s Budget, in concert with the $621 billion for transportation and resilience investments proposed in the American Jobs Plan, will create millions of jobs, strengthen our economy, and finally address long needed investment in our roads and bridges, railways, aviation, and ports. The FY 2022 President’s Budget will also help us to begin to tackle some of the most important Transportation issues our Nation faces today – including the impact of climate change, longstanding inequities in our infrastructure investments, and increasing backlogs in the state of good repair of our Nation’s most critical transportation assets.
