Worker wages, rights, and reporting

If enacted, grant recipients and their contractors would have to pay Davis-Bacon prevailing wages for workers on projects. They would have to adopt neutral policies on union organizing and post notices of employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act at hiring. The Transportation Secretary would publish an annual report on recipients, spending, project progress, workforce effects, safety, and environmental impacts.

Federal wireless EV charging grants

If enacted, the bill would create a federal grant program for wireless electric vehicle charging. The Transportation Secretary would run the program with help from the Energy Department. States, local and Tribal governments, planning groups, transit agencies, and their partners would be eligible to apply. Grants could fund charging along roads, in parking lots, at airports, and at ports. The Secretary could offer technical help, allow similar State or local grants to be combined, and would use definitions for "electric vehicle" and "wireless charging" to decide what qualifies.

Grant funding limits and caps

If enacted, the bill would authorize $250 million to carry out the wireless charging program. Funds would remain available until expended. For each project, the federal share could not be more than 80 percent of total cost. No single grant could be more than $25,000,000.
