Surface Transportation Project Requests

Rep. Jan Schakowsky has submitted funding requests for important surface transportation projects in IL-09 to the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee.

Under guidelines issued by the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, each Representative may request funding for up to 10 projects in their community for fiscal year 2022 – although only a handful may actually be funded. Projects are restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible non-profit entities are permitted to receive funding. Additional information on the reforms governing Community Project Funding is available here(link is external).

In compliance with House Rules and Committee requirements, Rep. Jan Schakowsky has certified that she, her spouse, and her immediate family have no financial interest in any of the projects she has requested.
