The program allocates R$60 billion in federal funds over four years, significantly less than previous PAC editions but leverages private sector partnerships through concessions and public-private partnerships. Nine priority areas span sustainable transport (R$349.1B), sustainable cities (R$609.7B), energy transition (R$540.3B), and social inclusion, with emphasis on completing 5,344 stalled projects from previous PACs.
