Federal Funding Opportunities Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act On November 6, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastracture Law, into law. Alongside funding for utilities, internet, electricity, resiliency and pollution cleanup, transportation funding was a central piece of this bill. This included funding for airports and rail, but also allocated $110 billion to repairs and improvements to roads and bridges. (The previous relevant federal program was known as the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, or “FAST Act”). Funding programs under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Arc, many of which are continued from the FAST Act from 2016-2020, are summarized below. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bipartisan-infrastructure-law/ Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program This program was established out of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA). It funds planning and implementation of projects and strategies which share a goal of eliminating roadway deaths and serious injuries. Many Complete Streets-related measures are eligible. Funding can be used to produce a comprehensive safety action plan, undergo demonstration projects, and implement permanent measures. Congress has appropriated $5 billion for the program through fiscal year 2026, and all grants require a 20 percent local match. The SS4A program supports the National Roadway Safety Strategy and the United States Department of Transportation’s goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways. Counties, municipalities, and other non-State government entities are eligible to apply. https://www.transportation.gov/grants/SS4A Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program The CMAQ program provides a flexible funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Funds may be used for a transportation project or program such as construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are not exclusively recreational (as they must reduce vehicle trips and therefore vehicle emissions), outreach promoting safe bicycle use, and other bicycle

and pedestrian facilities that are not exclusively recreational (as they must reduce vehicle trips and therefore vehicle emissions), outreach promoting safe bicycle use, and other bicycle and pedestrian programs. CMAQ eligibilities include public transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, travel demand management strategies, alternative fuel vehicles, and facilities serving electric or natural gas- fueled vehicles. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bipartisan-infrastructure-law/cmaq.cfm Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside The Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA Set-Aside, or TA) authorizes funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives, including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, community improvement activities, such as historic preservation and vegetation management, and environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity; recreational trail projects; safe routes to school projects; and projects for planning, designing, or constructing boulevards and other roadways largely in the right-of-way of former divided highways. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/transportation_alternatives/ 130 WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
