Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

Advancing racial equity in Philadelphia through Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded projects.

About

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is the largest long-term infrastructure investment in our nation’s history. It provides $1.2 trillion over five years, 2022 through 2026, in new federal funding.

The City of Philadelphia is utilizing the historic levels of funding from the BIL to create a safer, cleaner, and greener Philadelphia with economic opportunity for all.

The Infrastructure Solutions Team (IST), led by the Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (OTIS), is spearheading this work. The Infrastructure Solutions Team’s mission is to advance racial equity with the BIL funding and ensure investments from the BIL grow generational wealth for Philadelphians, especially people of color who have historically been excluded from opportunity.

The team's goals are to:

  • Secure $1 billion in BIL funding by 2026.
  • Ensure that infrastructure workers, from planning to construction, look more like the population of Philadelphia.
  • Increase participation of historically underutilized businesses on City contracts.
