Why This Matters

A $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package signed into law November 15, 2021. The provision drawing the most public discussion today is Section 24220, which directs federal regulators to require new passenger vehicles to include technology that can passively detect impaired driving and prevent the vehicle from operating if the driver is impaired. The law also funds the largest physical-infrastructure investment in a generation across roads, bridges, transit, rail, broadband, water, and EV charging.

If you buy a new car after the federal rule takes effect, the law requires it to monitor for impaired driving before letting you drive. The same law also funds road, bridge, broadband, water, and transit upgrades you may already be seeing in your area.
