Historic Funding Opportunities from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, into law. This landmark legislation represents the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in the history of the United States. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocates a staggering $550 billion over fiscal years 2022 through 2026 for new federal investments in a variety of infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience, and broadband.

A Historic Investment in Infrastructure

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aims to rejuvenate America's aging infrastructure, create jobs, and boost the economy. It addresses critical areas such as:

• Roads and Bridges: Significant funds are allocated to repair and upgrade highways, bridges, and major roads, ensuring safer and more efficient transportation.

• Mass Transit: Investment in public transportation systems aims to improve connectivity, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable urban mobility.

• Water Infrastructure: Funding will enhance the quality and reliability of drinking water and wastewater systems, protecting public health and the environment.

• Resilience: Resources are dedicated to making infrastructure more resilient against climate change, natural disasters, and other emerging threats.

• Broadband: Expanding high-speed internet access to underserved communities to bridge the digital divide and foster economic growth.

Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment Program

Among the many grant programs supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment Program. This program provides critical funding to deploy cutting-edge transportation technologies designed to improve efficiency, safety, and mobility across the nation.

NavLink's Role in Advanced Transportation Technologies

NavLink is proud to be at the forefront of these transformative changes, offering advanced transportation technologies that can be utilized under these grants. Our solutions are particularly impactful in enhancing emergency evacuation and response capabilities for federal, state, and local authorities. Here's how NavLink technology plays a crucial role:

1. Improved Emergency Evacuation: NavLink's advanced traffic management systems use real-time data and predictive analytics to optimize evacuation routes during emergencies. By ensuring smooth traffic flow and reducing congestion, our technology helps to expedite the safe evacuation of residents during critical events such as natural disasters or other emergencies.
