Texas would receive the second highest allocation among the 50 states from the federal bipartisan infrastructure bill, amounting to $1,200 per Texas resident, according to a new analysis from CNBC.

The $35.4 billion Texas would receive from the bill is higher than any other state’s allocation, with the exception of California, which would receive $44.6 billion. The trillion-dollar package, which has already passed the U.S. Senate, aims to rebuild decaying bridges and inadequate roads, as well as make improvements in public transit.

Under the plan, Texas would get $26.9 billion for highways; $537 million for bridges, $3.3 billion for public transportation and $2.9 billion for water quality improvements.

Although states with the largest populations are in line to get large shares of the infrastructure pie, smaller states such as Vermont, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska would get the most funds per capita. All four of the states would get at least $3,500 per resident, almost triple the amount per capita for Texas, the CNBC study said.
