Highway Funding Transferability Improvement Act

# Highway Funding Transferability Improvement Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would allow states to transfer federal highway funding between different transportation projects more flexibly. Currently, states have limited ability to move money allocated for one type of road project to another type of project. The bill aims to give states greater discretion in how they use federal highway dollars they receive, allowing them to redirect funds to better match their specific transportation needs. **Who It Affects:** The primary beneficiaries would be state transportation departments and local governments that manage road construction and maintenance.

The bill could also affect federal highway program administrators and potentially the general public if states use the increased flexibility to prioritize projects differently. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (S 1733) and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) in the 119th Congress.
