Transportation Asset Management Simplification Act

To amend title 23, United States Code, to improve transportation asset management plans, and for other purposes.

Summary

This bill modifies how states demonstrate compliance with federal transportation asset management requirements. Currently, states must file comprehensive reports annually; the bill changes this to once every 4 years in conjunction with a recertification process. States need only submit detailed data for the most recent year, with certifications that asset management in other years meets federal requirements. The bill also establishes a 90-day cure period when states are found noncompliant, during which penalties and legal impacts are paused, with the Secretary able to extend the period at the state's request.
