The Federal Highway Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation, announced Thursday (April 21) an emissions reduction program that will provide $6.4 billion for states and metro areas over five years, including up to $86.9 million for Arkansas.

The new Carbon Reduction Program, created under the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is expected to help states develop carbon reduction strategies and address climate change. Program funding can be used to expand transportation options to help families save money on gas, according to a news release.

Arkansas is set to receive $16.7 million in fiscal 2022 as a result of the program.
