Highway Infrastructure: Grants and Incentives for Low-Emission Construction Materials.

This law aims to accelerate road construction using low-emission materials like green concrete and asphalt. It provides grants to states to cover the extra costs of purchasing these materials and guarantees long-term purchases from US manufacturers, supporting innovation and job creation. Citizens can expect more durable road infrastructure built in an environmentally friendlier way.
Key points
States will receive reimbursements and financial incentives ($15 million authorized for 2025-2027) for using low-emission cement and asphalt in highway projects.
The federal government will guarantee long-term purchases (3 years or more) of green construction materials from private companies to boost domestic production and innovation.
An interagency task force will be established to improve the durability, reduce the cost, and increase employment in the low-emission construction materials sector.
