December 22, 2020 – The final major legislation to be passed by Congress in 2020 contained another $0.9 trillion in COVID-related fiscal relief spread across two divisions of a 32-division omnibus bill. $45 billion of that is dedicated fiscal aid for transportation – air carriers, mass transit providers, state DOTs, airports, and Amtrak. When combined with the $68 billion these entities received in the CARES Act of March 2020, the total transportation-specific COVID relief provided will be $113 billion.
