Highways First Act

The Highways First Act reorganizes how federal highway and transit funds are allocated by modifying existing statutory language in two key areas. It removes a specific funding provision related to highway construction and renumbers remaining paragraphs to streamline the allocation process. Additionally, the bill deletes a section governing how certain transit funds are distributed, effectively changing the rules for how these amounts are shared between federal and non-federal sources. These changes directly impact state and local transportation agencies that rely on federal funding for infrastructure projects.
