The enacted law created the PROTECT program to fund resilience improvements for transportation assets, communities, coastal infrastructure, and natural infrastructure.

The PROTECT provisions authorize grants to states, local governments, MPOs, port authorities, tribes, and multijurisdictional groups for planning and resilience construction.

The law helps local communities and public authorities plan and build infrastructure that can withstand flooding, wildfire, extreme weather, and other disasters.

The law defines a public-private partnership as an agreement between a public agency and private entity to finance, build, maintain, or operate a project.

This supports the private-firm component of the broader infrastructure-delivery framework, though it does not establish a separate Built to Last Act.
