To amend title 23, United States Code, to increase the Federal share payable for certain projects in environmental justice communities, and for other purposes.

Bill 117 hr 3734, also known as the Environmental Justice Community Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act, aims to amend title 23 of the United States Code to increase the Federal share payable for certain projects in environmental justice communities. The bill seeks to address the disparities in transportation infrastructure funding that disproportionately affect low-income and minority communities.

Specifically, the bill proposes to increase the Federal share payable for transportation projects in environmental justice communities, which are areas that have been historically marginalized and disproportionately impacted by pollution and environmental hazards. By increasing the Federal share, these communities will have greater access to funding for much-needed transportation infrastructure improvements.

In addition to increasing funding for transportation projects in environmental justice communities, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to environmental justice. These provisions may include measures to address environmental health disparities, promote sustainable development, and ensure equitable access to transportation resources for all communities. Overall, Bill 117 hr 3734 aims to address the environmental and transportation challenges faced by marginalized communities and promote greater equity in transportation infrastructure funding. By increasing the Federal share for projects in environmental justice communities, the bill seeks to improve access to safe and reliable transportation options for all Americans, regardless of their socioeconomic status or background.
