Municipal Guidance on ARP and IIJA Investment
Introduction
State and local governments across the country are in the thick of actively planning how they will deploy resources coming through federal pandemic relief and infrastructure legislation. With the passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) and $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021, decisions being made over the coming weeks and months will determine the impact of these historic packages.
The combined investment of ARP and IIJA have potential to address acute and long standing needs, including advancing sustainability and equity goals. However, with funding spread across hundreds of programs and myriad various federal, state, and local authorities, ultimate success will require all levels of government to be proactive, collaborative, and strategic in their investment decisions.
Municipalities and other local units in particular have their work cut out for them. The expansiveness of federal infrastructure and pandemic aid packages brings with it complexity, not only in both the technical aspects of program eligibility, administration, and compliance, as well as with identifying new opportunities and leveraging best practices that advance community values and ambitions.
As of February 2022, less than half of local ARP funding was allocated, with smaller cities slower to deploy ARP funding than large cities. Meanwhile, IIJA formula funding is just now starting to trickle into states while competitive grant funding remains largely up for grabs.
What follows is a field guide for municipal policymakers and stakeholders, including an outline of packages and their programs as well as some recommended best practices– such as how ARP and IIJA can combine for maximum impact– with an emphasis on climate and equity goals.
ARP Overview, Timeline, & Uses
The American Rescue Plan is a large and flexible recovery package with resources available for items ranging from childcare to small business support. As part of the sprawling bill, the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) will deliver $350 billion to eligible state, local, and tribal governments for addressing the pandemic and its economic impact. As of early January 2022, roughly two-thirds of those funds had already been granted, while the rest will go out in late spring of this year.
In accordance with Treasury guidelines, state and local planning and deployment of SLFRF funds must be completed in two stages over the next four years. States and local governments have until end of year 2024 to obligate their SLFRF allotments and until end of year 2026 to expend funds.
Thus far, local decision makers have been relatively cautious in operationalizing SLFRF money. As of early March, less than half of funds have been budgeted by local administrators. The reason for relatively slow local deployment of ARP dollars has largely revolved around ambiguity in federal ARP guidance as well as local officials taking a ‘wait and see’ approach, anticipating more federal funding income, including the now passed infrastructure bill as well as the Presidents' since stalled social and climate Build Back Better bill.
However new federal guidance has recently accelerated planning. In January, Treasury released its anticipated SLFRF Final Rule update, which gives clarity on how states and locals can utilize ARP dollars. This update establishes definitive guidelines on local eligibility, allowable uses, as well as compliance and reporting rules. An overview of those guidelines and links to additional resources are available in the following section.
SLFRF Final Rule Update
Under Treasury’s Final Rule, state and local governments have broad flexibility in determining how federal pandemic relief dollars are put to use, though they must fall within the SLFRF’s five defined spending categories, which include the following;
1) Fighting the COVID-19 pandemic
2) Fighting the economic impacts of the pandemic
3) Replacing lost revenue for state and local governments
4) Premium pay for essential workers most at risk
5) Water, sewer, & broadband infrastructure
Key poinst:
- An expanded, non-exhaustive list for certain capital expenditures to respond to public health and economic impacts of the pandemic.
- Expanded support for public sector hiring and capacity.
- Streamlined options to provide premium pay for essential workers, who bear the greatest health risks because of their service.
- Broadened eligibility of water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure projects
- A simplification for small localities, allowing them to elect a standard allowance of $10 million for revenue loss rather than calculating revenue loss through the full formula.
- A more accurate accounting of municipal revenue for purposes of calculating losses, specifically by including municipally-owned utility revenue from calculations of general revenue
- Continued restriction on using funds for retroactive activities, including pension funding, debt and bond service, rainy day fund replenishment, etc.
- Increasing allowance for governments to increase their public-sector employment levels up to 7.5% above their pre-pandemic baseline (public employment levels were at historic lows even prior to the pandemic).
- Encourages that contracts for major projects incorporate Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), Community Benefit Agreements, local hire, or prevailing wage standards to ensure equitable hiring and quality jobs.
- Greater flexibility on broadband infrastructure, including an update to the unserved or underserved restriction.

IIJA Overview and Resources
The federal Infrastrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), otherwise known as the bipartisan infrastructure bill, provides a similarly considerable injection of federal aid to state and local governments, totalling $1.2 trillion and including roughly $550 billion in newly authorized spending.
However, contrary to the ARP which provides state and locals with substantial latitude in how funding is used, the IIJA distributes funding through hundreds of new and existing programs, administered by different agencies and subject to more stringent requirements and limitations.
The package is likewise split between formula funding and competitive grants. A majority of the infrastructure money will arrive through formula allocations based on population and other factors. However, cities and states will need to actively pursue and compete for nearly a quarter of the available funding, making strategy and initiative critical for communities who ultimately will see the largest investment and benefit.

Best Practices and Opportunities
- Leverage flex funding towards climate infrastructure – Prioritizing climate and equity goals will provide the highest impact use of funds for ARP and IIJA dollars. The imminent catastrophe detailed in the latest IPCC report and the devastation already hitting communities make sustainability investments a top priority. With the future of further climate funding through Build Back Better (BBB) still uncertain, ARP and IIJA are the largest and most important avenues through which communities can make significant strides on sustainability and planning in the near term. The urgency of acting on this opportunity cannot be understated.
While climate experts and advocates are still hoping for additional federal climate packages, the IIJA authorized a number of new and existing programs that can advance sustainability goals. Additionally, some programs have expanded flexibility for funds, such as the 15% climate resilience allowance through the National Highway Performance Program or the 10% transportation alternative set-aside in the Surface Transportation Block Grant program. However, seizing such flexibility will require locals to secure buy-in from their state’s Transportation Department and other authorities. Meanwhile, as billions of state ARP funds remain to be allocated, cities and states can consider pooling those funds with IIJA monies to increase the scope of climate features and projects.
- Combine financing - Right now, state and local leaders have a window to advance large, innovative projects whether in transportation, energy, broadband, drinking water, watershed management, or other investment categories. To maximize impact, local and state leaders should jointly consider how funding from IIJA and remaining ARP dollars can be combined together as well as with other financing to reinvigorate plans that have stalled and seemed out of reach because of lacking resources.
With significant portions of ARP still unallocated, increased flexibility in many formula infrastructure programs, and significantly expanded competitive grant options, locals can scale projects by identifying where programs overlap or how planned projects might be tailored to expand their eligible into more federal funding. This strategy will look different for different states, cities, and project types, but understanding how the local, state, and federal financing landscapes can jointly unlock significantly more opportunities.
For example, the largest component of IIJA, the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), now allows up to 15% of funds to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events caused by climate change and provides options to use NHPP funds on projects that are off the national highway system. State and locals might consider pursuing competitive Healthy Streets or watershed grants to pair with these kinds of flexible NHPP funds to increase investment in green stormwater infrastructure or other sustainable right-of-way components.
- Be proactive on competitive grants – State and local administrators will be familiar with many of the programs in the IIJA. However, over $96 billion in new opportunities are spread across roughly 140 programs. The largest allocations are in energy infrastructure and technology programs followed by highways, roads, and bridges. Grants can be highly selective, so locals should think critically about how they can make their applications as competitive as possible. This may mean pursuing strategies like those above, such as combining funding sources, as well as prioritizing programs stated goals, like climate resilience, that the President has emphasized in the grantee selection process.
- Avoid old mistakes – Given the historic size of ARP and IIJA funding combined, the joint packages present a once in a generation opportunity to open a new chapter on American infrastructure. However, turning the page won’t necessarily be easy as there is often incentive to further entrench old mistakes in planning. To reach the highest impact, locals should keep the following strategies in mind.
- Avoid highway expansions when possible, prioritize transit-oriented development and living infrastructure, While highways, roads, and bridges are set to receive the largest injection of IIJA funding through programs like the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and Surface Transportation Block Grants (STBG), there are still ways state and local administrators can wield funds to minimize reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Notable among these are de-emphasizing highway expansions.
Multiple studies have shown increasing highway capacity through expansions are a proven failure in reducing traffic. They also bake-in high carbon emissions for decades to come by reenforcing single-occupancy automobile dependency. To reduce emissions, state and local governments should prioritize low-carbon transportation strategies, including low-emission public transit projects and the maintenance of existing roadways over the expansion of highways. Under a low-carbon IIJA strategy, states could reduce their emissions by 1.3% from current trajectory versus a high-carbon (roadway expansion) strategy that would increase emission trajectory by 1.6% from baseline.
- Reject tax cuts – Already there have been instances of state or local policymakers using a combination of higher than expected forecasted revenue, a boon of federal funding, and high inflation as a pretext for cutting taxes. However, virtually no city or state in the country is without significant needs in their physical and social infrastructure. Cutting taxes, whether personal or corporate income, sales or gas taxes, effectively shrinks the opportunity of IIJA and ARP at the precise moment when communities need ramp up investment to maximize the impact of federal packages. To the contrary of tax cuts, state and local governments should consider how they might increase long-term revenue such that they can expand and sustain investments in infrastructure that are advanced through IIJA and ARP.
