(Washington, D.C.) -- Oregon will receive nearly 32-million-dollars from the federal government to buy construction materials for highway projects that cause less pollution. The money is coming from the Inflation Reduction Act's Low Carbon Transportation Materials Grant Program. The money will be used to buy concrete, steel, and other highway construction materials that are made causing less pollution. ODOT Director Kris Strickler says it'll help Oregon meet its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 60 percent from 1990 levels by 2050.
