ADAPT Assets Act

The ADAPT Assets Act establishes a competitive grant program to fund up to 10 demonstration projects that help critical transportation infrastructure withstand natural hazards. Eligible recipients include states, local governments, transit agencies, ports, and Tribal entities, with funding capped at an 80 percent federal share. The program specifically targets large-scale projects costing at least $500 million that address barriers like complex governance or the integration of nature-based solutions, allowing funds to cover design, permitting, and construction. To ensure transparency and coordination, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to publish a public dashboard tracking project progress and to submit periodic reports evaluating the effectiveness of these resilience investments.
