According to the Secretary of Transportation, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) represents 'the largest investment in America's roads, bridges, transit lines, and rail systems since the creation of the interstate highway system.' Key provisions of ARRA are preserving and creating jobs, promoting economic recovery, and investing in transportation infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits. In addition to providing funding for a number of existing DOT programs, ARRA directs DOT to create several new programs and establishes tight time frames for distributing and expending funds and for reporting results (for example, the number of jobs created).
