Plain-English Summary

This bill would change how the federal government distributes highway funding to states, likely shifting money away from some states and toward others based on a new formula for calculating each state's share. The changes would affect state transportation departments and local governments that rely on federal highway dollars to build and repair roads. The specific details of the new formula would determine which states benefit and which lose funding under this approach.
