WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, announced North Dakota will receive a total of $342,192,740 in Federal Aid-Highway Program (FAHP) funding from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

These funds will be distributed to the following programs and initiatives:

  • $188,471,914 from the National Highway Performance Program;
  • $91,689,040 from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program;
  • $17,460,544 from the Highway Safety Improvement Program;
  • $11,925,868 from the Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement;
  • $9,296,250 from the PROTECT Formula Program;
  • $8,957,853 from the National Highway Freight Program;
  • $8,175,606 from the Carbon Reduction Program;
  • $3,911,271 from the Railway- Highway Crossings Program; and
  • $2,304,494 from Metropolitan Planning.

Additionally, North Dakota will receive $45 million in FY 2024 Bridge Formula Program funding. This program, created by the IIJA, is the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system and will provide North Dakota with $225 million over a five-year period to support bridge improvements. The state received $45 million in FY 2022 and 2023. The funding is allocated through a formula, ensuring smaller population states with higher transportation activities receive the funding they need.

“The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act continues to deliver for North Dakota. Maintenance and repair of our highways are critical to fostering safe, efficient travel and transporting the commodities we produce to market,” said Senator Cramer. “This year’s apportionment is a significant increase and reiterates why my top priority was delivering infrastructure funding through formula so large, rural states like North Dakota are not overlooked."

The FY 2024 apportionment represents a nearly $7 million increase from last year’s total of $335,482,642. Since the IIJA’s enactment, North Dakota has received $1,141,579,495 in formula funding.
