Plain-English Summary

This bill would eliminate a requirement that states set aside a portion of their federal highway funding specifically for transportation alternative programs like bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and transit improvements. The change would give states more flexibility to spend their transportation dollars however they choose, though it could reduce funding available for non-car infrastructure projects. The bill affects state transportation departments and communities that rely on these alternative transportation programs.
