Highway Funding Flexibility Act of 2025

# Highway Funding Flexibility Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does:** The Highway Funding Flexibility Act of 2025 (HR 3972) would modify how states can use federal highway funding. Rather than restricting transportation money to specific road projects, the bill would give states greater flexibility in deciding how to spend their federal highway allocations. This allows states to potentially redirect funds toward different transportation priorities based on their local needs. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects state transportation departments, local governments, and communities that rely on federal highway funding.

It could also impact federal infrastructure planning by shifting more decision-making authority from the federal government to individual states. The changes would influence which transportation projects get built or funded across the country. **Current Status:** HR 3972 was introduced by Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced to a vote at this stage of the legislative process. *Note: Specific funding amounts, detailed provisions, and implementation mechanisms were not available in the basic bill information provided.*.
