The purpose of this legislation is to change the way federal highway funds are distributed to states. Specifically, it aims to ensure that each state receives a guaranteed minimum amount of funding based on a new formula. This is intended to provide more equitable access to highway funds, especially for states that may have previously received less funding. The key provision of this legislation is the amendment to the highway apportionment formula. It establishes that each state must receive at least 0.5 percent of the total federal highway funding that is allocated.
