"Despite fierce headwinds in Washington, though, Blunt Rochester's office points out that the concept of "reconnecting communities and neighborhoods" remains wildly popular across America as clearly evidenced by the fact that in each of the five years it was active, RCN alone received an average of $4.6 billion in unmet requests. And if the right messaging can remind lawmakers of how much they stand to gain from updating aging infrastructure for a modern age,"
Streetsblog requests tax-deductible donations to support free journalism and efforts to end car dependency and strengthen communities. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester introduced the REPAIR Infrastructure Act to reauthorize the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods pilot and raise funding to $15 billion. Under the Biden administration, the Reconnecting Communities program and the Neighborhood Access and Equity Grant program received roughly $4 billion collectively. Much of that funding was rescinded by a GOP-led Congress and remaining funds have been delayed by the Trump administration's DOT. Reconnecting Communities received average unmet requests of $4.6 billion per year over five active years. The proposal seeks bipartisan backing.
