Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing.

Summary

This bill amends the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) to increase the thresholds for categorical exclusions for transportation projects that receive limited federal funding. The bill doubles the dollar threshold in subparagraph (A) from $6 million to $12 million and the threshold in subparagraph (B) from $35 million to $70 million. These increased thresholds would allow more transportation projects to qualify for categorical exclusions from certain requirements that would otherwise apply to federally assisted projects.
