Washington, D.C.-Funding for Department of Transportation (DOT) grant programs would be cut by 59 percent or $6.6 billion in fiscal year 2024 under a bill reported out of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. Advanced by a voice vote, the bill headed to a vote by the full committee. Its proposed cuts would leave $4,619 billion for DOT's discretionary grant programs, according to the House committee. In other key takeaways, the bill would provide: 1. A discretionary total of $21,574 billion to DOT, which is $7,161 billion below the current enacted level. 2. No additional funds for the RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) or Mega grant programs, which the committee said received $2.5 billion in advance appropriations for fiscal year 2024 through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. |
