It is:
$50 billion for infrastructure resilience
$25 billion for projects of regional/national significance
$20 billion for investment in neighborhoods cut off by historic investments
The remaining $10 billion is probably scattered among smaller items that are mentioned under the $621 billion but did not have a dollar figure attached. These items are mentioned as getting increased investment without attaching any dollar figures:
- FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program
- HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program
- new initiatives at the Department of Transportation
- a bipartisan tax credit to provide incentives to low- and middle-income families and to small businesses to invest in disaster resilience
- transition and relocation assistance to support community-led transitions for the most vulnerable tribal communities.

If someone is a Politico Pro subscriber, they have more transportation funding details (e.g. they have details on the proposed allocation of the $115 billion for roads and bridges: $50 billion for road modernization, $40 billion for bridges, etc.):
