Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Overview:
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law on November 15, 2021. The law allocates approximately $1.2 trillion in total funding over ten years, including $550 billion in new spending over the next five years, divided among investments in transportation systems ($284 billion) and investments in core infrastructure ($266 billion).
Approximately 2/3 of the funding will transfer to state, local and tribal governments, industry, and individuals, with the vast majority of funding to be doled out over 5 years. Approximately $120B of funding does not expire.
IIJA allocated funding to over 350 distinct programs across more than a dozen federal departments and agencies, with funding primarily distributed through two ways: entitlement/formula-based grants and competitive grant programs.
Formula grants are based on formulas established by Congress, that take specific factors into account, such as state and local population. These grants are pre-determined and noncompetitive, but agencies and municipalities must still go through an application process to obtain funding.
Competitive grant programs require states, localities and other eligible public-sector organizations to compete for funding.
Each program is designed for specific recipients; some will be local governments and transit providers, and others will be states. Federal funding is distributed to states and localities through formula grants and competitive grants. Local governments, including cities and counties, will receive sub-allocations of formula grants depending on various factors such as population size and scale of infrastructure. Localities will be able to compete for federal grants.

IT Addressable Spending
IT investments are a necessary requirement across all IIJA funding categories. The deployment of new infrastructure that bolsters our nation’s transportation safety and sustainability goals, cybersecurity posture, and digital equity, will require supporting technology tools and solutions. For example, every new road that is built can utilize digital technologies that can help decrease traffic fatalities. In this section we highlight specific insertion points within various IIJA categories for technology companies:
Transportation: airports, roads, bridges
Vendors can leverage transportation dollars by offering innovative technologies related to intelligent and sensor-based transportation systems, smart traffic monitoring and congestion management, artificial intelligence and cloud-driven solutions that optimize infrastructure management, solutions that drive business process automation, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to repair and maintain critical infrastructure and support inclusive mobility options, such as connected vehicles.
Digitally enabled infrastructure will support goals around transportation equity and resilience, leading to potential long-term economic benefits.
There is $100 million allocated for digital construction technologies such as 3D modeling and digital project management platforms and over $500 million for the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) grant program.
Data integration platforms can help technology agencies break down data and operational silos, enhancing overall collaboration. GIS mapping technologies are helpful for things like bus stops, utilizing IoT technologies in back-end processes. Enterprise asset management (EAM) systems can help bolster safety by delivering real-time data on infrastructure-related deficiencies or defects.
Autonomous vehicles, intelligent sensor-based infrastructure, and shared-use mobility initiatives are other examples of technology applications.
Utilities and Environmental: water systems monitoring, cybersecurity solutions
There is a total of $65 billion allocated for power infrastructure, with emphasis on improved security, both physical and cybersecurity of the electric grid. There are various programs and grants managed by the Department of Energy for threat detection and response and the incorporation of advanced technologies. A $250 million Rural and Municipal Utility Grant and Technical Assistance Program awards grants to public and private utilities for deployment of advanced cybersecurity technologies. Additionally, the $250 million Cybersecurity for the Energy Sector Research, Development, and Demonstration Program, will focus on the development of programs with public and private stakeholders.
Some opportunities for investment include clean buses, ferries, electric vehicle charging stations, carbon capture usage and storage solutions, battery and energy storage technologies, hardening and expansion of the electric grid to bolster resilience and minimize outages, storage, microgrids, and distribution infrastructure.
Data analytics can help facilitate software to engage in Smart Grid functions, software that allows buildings to utilize Smart Grid functions, wireless broadband communications networks can facilitate data flow between the various components of electric utility distribution system.
Cyber solutions will be necessary for protecting all critical infrastructure and strengthening resilience.
Broadband: devices for wi-fi connectivity, laptops and tablets
State and local governments want to guarantee that every resident has equitable access to the Internet. With $65 billion in funding distributed across seven programs, vendors can optimize funding by providing solutions that enhance digital literacy, workforce development and device access programs, broadband construction and other digital inclusion initiatives. Broadband dollars can also be used to make infrastructure more resilient and expand access to citizen services such as social programs. Broadband technologies that can assist with remote work, telehealth and distance learning will be extremely valuable to state and local governments as they will support the modern government enterprise.
Cybersecurity: cloud storage solutions, secure networking and communications, and secure data centers, as data sharing becomes an integral component of state and local government operations.
IIJA provides a total of $1.9 billion for cybersecurity, with a $1 billion grant program to assist state, local, and tribal governments to guard against cyberthreats and modernize systems, particularly critical infrastructure. Funding will be disbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency over four years, starting in 2022, with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency overseeing the disbursement process. Additionally, $100 million is allocated to the Cyber Response and Recovery Fund to be held in reserve for state, local and tribal entities to deliver support after future cyber-attacks.
