Congresswoman Suzan DelBene announced the numbers Tuesday for the upcoming fiscal year, totaling nearly $1.1 billion. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) will be allocating the money for FY 2024, including $934 million for road repairs and improvements, $131 million to repair and rebuild bridges and $15 million to build more electric vehicle chargers.
