Summary

This bill amends federal highway law to increase the portion of Federal-aid highway funds that states are permitted to transfer to other transportation purposes from 50 percent to 75 percent. The change allows states to use a larger share of their federal highway funding for transit, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian improvements, or other eligible transportation projects. This provides states with greater flexibility in allocating their federal transportation resources according to local priorities.
