Expanding the Fast Track Act of 2026

This legislation amends Title XLI of the FAST Act to broaden the scope of infrastructure projects eligible for expedited federal permitting processes. It achieves this by significantly lowering the cost estimate threshold for project eligibility. Specifically, the bill reduces the required cost estimate for projects to qualify for these streamlined processes from $200,000,000 to $50,000,000 . This adjustment will allow a greater number of medium-sized infrastructure projects to benefit from the faster permitting procedures outlined in the FAST Act, with changes taking effect on January 1, 2027, or the date of enactment, whichever is later.
