Problem:SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Transportation Infrastructure for
Job Creation Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Investments in infrastructure create jobs while
fulfilling critical needs in communities throughout the United
States.
(2) According to the Brookings Institution, nearly 14.5
million workers--11 percent of the U.S. workforce--were
employed in infrastructure jobs in 2013.
(3) According to data from the Brookings Institution,
infrastructure occupations often provide more competitive and
equitable wages in comparison to all jobs nationally,
consistently paying up to 30 percent more to low-income workers
over the past decade.
(4) The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the
infrastructure of the United States an overall grade of ''D+''
in 2017 and estimated that the United States will need to
invest $4.59 trillion by 2025 in order to improve the condition
of the Nation's infrastructure and bring it to a state of good
repair.
(5) The American Society of Civil Engineers assigned a
''D'' grade to the Nation's roads, a ''C+'' grade to the
Nation's bridges, and a ''D-'' grade to the Nation's transit
systems and estimated that the United States will need to
invest $2.04 trillion by 2025 to bring the Nation's surface
transportation infrastructure to a state of good repair.
(6) TIGER, formally known as the Transportation Investment
Generating Economic Recovery grant program, is a nationwide
competitive grant program that creates jobs by funding
investments in transportation infrastructure by States, local
governments, and transit agencies.
(7) TIGER funds projects that will have a significant
impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region.
(8) In distributing grants under TIGER, the Secretary of
Transportation is required to ensure an equitable geographic
distribution of funds, a balance in addressing the needs of
urban and rural areas, and investments in a variety of modes of
transportation.
(9) TIGER received an appropriation of $600,000,000 in
fiscal year 2014, an appropriation of $500,000,000 in fiscal
year 2015, and an appropriation of $500,000,000 in fiscal year
2016.
(10) Past appropriations for TIGER are not sufficient to
address the need for investments in transportation
infrastructure in communities throughout the United States as
the amounts only fund a small fraction of the transportation
infrastructure projects for which TIGER grant applications have
been received.
(11) Appropriating $7.5 billion in fiscal year 2017 for
TIGER and allowing the funds to remain available for 6 years
will enable the Secretary of Transportation to begin
immediately to expand investments in transportation
infrastucture throughout the United States.
(12) Restricting appropriations for TIGER through the use
of arbitrary budget caps or sequestration undermines economic
recovery and job creation efforts; disrupts planning by States,
local governments, and transit agencies; and leaves critical
infrastructure needs unmet.
(13) Emergency supplemental appropriations for TIGER,
provided in addition to other appropriations and not subject to
sequestration, will improve transportation infrastructure and
create jobs throughout the United States without reducing
funding for other domestic priorities.
(14) An emergency supplemental appropriation of $7.5
billion for TIGER to be made available in fiscal year 2017 and
to remain available for 6 years will allow the Secretary of
Transportation to begin immediately to organize new
competitions for TIGER grants and allow States, local
governments, and transit agencies to prepare grant
applications, thus ensuring an efficient use of funds and
timely job creation.

PROGRAM.

Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for fiscal year 2017:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

For an additional amount for ''National Infrastructure
Investments'' in accordance with the provisions under this heading in
title I of division K of Public Law 115-31, $7,500,000,000, to remain
available through September 30, 2022: Provided, That the amount under
this heading is designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement
pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985, except that such amount shall be available
only if the President subsequently so designates such amount and
transmits such designation to the Congress.

SEC. 4. EXEMPTION FROM SEQUESTRATION.

The appropriation in section 3 shall be exempt from sequestration
under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
Solution:
Transportation Infrastructure for Job Creation Act This bill provides $7.5 billion in supplemental FY2017 appropriations to the Department of Transportation to remain available through FY2022 for national infrastructure investments under a competitive grant program commonly known as the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. The funding provided by this bill is designated as an emergency requirement pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The emergency funding is exempt from discretionary spending limits and is only available if the President subsequently designates the amounts as an emergency and submits the designation to Congress. The bill also exempts the funding from sequestration. (Sequestration is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.)
