This legislative proposal, known as the Highway Funding Transferability Improvement Act , seeks to provide states with greater flexibility in managing their federal transportation allocations. The bill's core objective is to amend existing provisions within title 23, United States Code , which governs federal-aid highway programs. Specifically, it modifies Section 126(a) to increase the permissible transferability of Federal-aid highway funds. This change allows states to reallocate a larger portion of these funds, raising the maximum transfer percentage from 50 percent to 75 percent, thereby enabling them to address diverse infrastructure priorities more effectively.
