Purpose
The IIJA allows states to obligate funds from four programs authorized by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) toward workforce development activities. Allowable uses now include support for pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs as well as career opportunities for on-the-job training. The IIJA also expands the allowable uses of these funds to allow for engagement with workforce development boards and for activities around addressing workforce gaps and developing the surface transportation workforce.
