Bill overview
This bill, the Balance the Highway Trust Fund Act, aims to limit how much money can be spent from the Highway Trust Fund. Specifically, it restricts federal-aid highway and highway safety construction projects and mass transit activities to the amount of tax revenue the fund actually receives each year. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation to prioritize distributing available funds to states, especially those with large unspent balances, and to redistribute any unused funds to states that can obligate them. Finally, it places a similar limitation on spending from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund.
