With President Joe Biden signing the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill into law Monday, Hawaiʻi should expect to receive at least $2.8 billion to improve roads, bridges, public transit, broadband access and more.
The largest portion, about $1.5 billion, will be allocated to roads, bridges and major projects, according to a release from U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz. All four members of Hawaiʻi’s congressional delegation voted in favor of the bill.
More than $600 million will go towards public transit, and nearly $250 million to improve airports.
At least $100 million will go towards expanding broadband access, and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands will receive $60 million to provide high-speed internet to homesteaders.
Funding will be distributed over a five-year period.
