To amend title 23, United States Code, with respect to the amounts States are guaranteed under the highway apportionment formula, and for other purposes.
Highway Funding: Minimum Guarantee for States
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being introduced in the House. It has been sent to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for review. No further actions or hearings have been scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
Changing how highway money is split is very difficult because larger states usually fight to keep their bigger share of the funding.
Key Points
- This bill changes how the federal government gives out money for highways and roads. It sets a new rule that every state must get at least 0.5 percent of the total national highway budget.
- Right now, some smaller states or states with fewer people might receive less than this amount. This change would help those states get a bigger and more reliable share of tax dollars for their local transportation projects.
- The goal is to make sure every part of the country has enough money to fix bridges, pave roads, and keep drivers safe. It prevents any state from being left too far behind when the government hands out billions in infrastructure funds.
