I introduced the Border Infrastructure. Safety and Congestion Relief Act. A section of my bill would provide Federal funds to state infrastructure banks or authorities to finance border improvement projects. We know that some projects could be financed more efficiently under partnerships with the private sector. I understand Senator CHAFEES bill on Transportation Finance and Innovation would provide an infusion of Federal credit assistance over the next six years to help construct large. highcost infrastructure facilities. My question for the Chairman is this. would border crossing facilities and trade corridors be eligible for this type of Federal financing under your bill?
