HARTFORD, Conn — Connecticut is expected to receive billions of dollars in additional federal transportation funding. 

There's money for rail and bus projects, bridge and road repairs, carbon emission reduction efforts, more electric vehicle charging stations, and other initiatives in the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that cleared the U.S. Senate on Tuesday and now awaits action in the House of Representatives.

The state, which has been grappling with aging infrastructure challenges for decades, is also expected to receive huge sums for airport and port renovations, the expansion of high-speed internet service, electric transmission line improvements, and storm resiliency efforts.
