Rural Farm-to-Market Infrastructure Act

This bill would authorize $8 billion over five years for competitive and formula-based grants through the Department of Transportation to repair and improve farm-to-market roads, rural bridges, and freight routes serving agricultural communities, with priority for projects that improve access to markets, schools, and emergency services. It would also authorize $4 billion through the Department of Agriculture’s broadband programs to expand reliable, affordable high-speed internet in underserved rural areas, while requiring recipients to provide matching funds and demonstrate measurable improvements in connectivity and infrastructure condition.
