What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill extends funding for federal highway, public transit, and rail programs through 2031, since the current funding is set to expire in September 2026. It creates a new grant program to help pay for transportation projects in communities across the country and introduces a yearly registration fee for electric vehicles starting at $130 and $35 for plug-in hybrids. The bill also makes changes to rules about self-driving vehicle equipment, gives states more flexibility in how they spend federal money on public transportation, and sets up a way for state, local, and tribal governments to report safety concerns about railroad bridges.
