The bill would allow the Secretary of Transportation to provide additional federal highway funding to states whose populations have grown since the previous decennial census. The amount would be based on each state's population growth, as determined by the Secretary. The bill also directs the Secretary to study how federal-aid highway funds are apportioned and recommend a modernized funding method. A report with the study and recommendations would be due to Congress within 90 days of enactment.
States with population growth could receive additional highway funding. The study would examine how funding formulas distribute money and whether they support federal highway goals. The bill does not specify direct effects on individuals.
The bill does not specify total costs or a set amount of additional funding. It would permit discretionary increases in certain highway funding for states with population growth.
