Ensure the highway trust fund remains solvent by adjusting federal fuel taxes and spending levels.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Balance the Highway Trust Fund Act?
The effort to balance the Highway Trust Fund is active through S. 3786, which has been in the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works since February 4, 2026. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. Given that no action has occurred on this bill since February 4, 2026, it faces the same path as most legislation that does not advance.
