Show full summary
- District government and local agencies would become eligible to apply to the amended title 49 and related programs, giving DC parity in grant access.
- Transit and infrastructure projects in DC would be eligible under the Growing States and High Density formula factors, the National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant Program, and the Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program.
