New Law Brings More Than $224 Million In New Funding To Strengthen Hawai"i's Roads And Bridges, Improve Safety For Hawai"i Families

Statement

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai"i) today announced that Hawai"i will receive $224,069,212 in federal funding to improve the state's roads, bridges, and highways and implement strategies to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries. The federal funding from the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will also fund programs to cut traffic congestion, in turn reducing emissions and improving air quality.

"These crucial investments will rebuild our roads, bridges, and highways to make them safer and more resilient for everyone," said Senator Schatz, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Housing. "The bipartisan infrastructure bill is already helping our state, and I'm proud to have supported it."
