Bill overview
The Transportation Alternatives Enhancements Act modifies the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program to better support projects that promote transportation alternatives like walking, biking, and public transit. Specifically, it requires the Department of Transportation to set aside 10% of funds for these projects, allows states greater flexibility in how they allocate those funds to local governments and organizations, and provides states with additional resources to streamline the application process for these projects. The bill also adjusts funding percentages and expands the eligible entities receiving funding.
