The REPAIR Infrastructure Act reauthorizes and expands a federal program to help communities remove or redesign highways and transportation barriers that divide neighborhoods and limit economic access. The bill allocates $3 billion annually from the Highway Trust Fund for fiscal years 2027-2031—with $750 million for planning grants and $2.25 billion for construction—to support projects that reconnect communities, improve accessibility to jobs and services, and prevent displacement of low-income residents. The legislation strengthens selection criteria to prioritize community engagement, affordable housing preservation, and equitable development, while prohibiting the use of these funds to increase highway lanes. The bill also makes REPAIR projects eligible for funding through six additional federal transportation programs, giving states and communities more flexible financing options for these initiatives.
