## Summary

**This bill would create a national competitive grant program to build and expand public parking for commercial motor vehicles and improve driver safety.** It makes public CMV parking a federal priority and bars grant money from paying for vehicle charging or fueling infrastructure. - Drivers and carriers: Grants aim to add publicly accessible, non-discriminatory truck parking and safety features, easing shortages on key freight corridors and banning access fees for funded spaces. - State, tribal, and local governments: Eligible entities can apply for construction and operations grants and may use up to 25% of a grant for preconstruction development. Projects that only identify or manage existing parking are limited to 10% of funding unless they expand capacity. - Freight network and public safety: Projects will be chosen for corridor parking shortage, freight efficiency, and highway safety and treated as Federal-aid highway projects. The Department of Transportation must produce public assessments on parking availability with biennial reporting after an initial four-year interval. *Authorizes $151.0 million per year in appropriations for fiscal years 2025–2029 to fund the program.*
