New 5-Year Transportation Reauthorization Bill - Slightly

Higher Highway Spending Expected

●New Transportation Reauthorization Bill Introduced. On Sunday, House

Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Chair Sam Graves (R-MO) and

ranking member Rick Larsen (D-WA) introduced the text of a new 5-year Ivan Yi iyi@wolferesearch.com

surface transportation reauthorization bill. The BUILD America 250 Act would (646) 845-0724

reauthorize federal surface transportation programs covering roads, bridges, Scott Group

transit, and safety regulations. The Committee plans to formally introduce the sgroup@wolferesearch.com

legislation soon, with the goal of sending the bill to the President before the (646) 845-0721

current highway bill (IIJA) expires on September 30.

●Highway Spending Set to Increase Modestly. The total dollar amount

proposed by BUILD America 250 was not released, but the newly proposed

bill is expected to be smaller than the $1.2T IIJA, which was broader in

scope. In contrast, BUILD America 250 is more focused on core infrastructure

renewal and maintenance projects, and core highway spending (most important

for aggregates) is expected to increase 8% to ~$294M over the 5 years

from 2027-2031 compared to the IIJA. Furthermore, total bridge spending

is expected to hit a record of over $50B. However, BUILD America 250

has less non-core transportation funding related to environmental programs,

discretionary grants, EV charging, and other projects. Hence, total core highway

funding growth is expected to decelerate after core highway spending in the

IIJA grew 23% from its predecessor bill.
