To amend the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 to prohibit congestion or cordon pricing in a value pricing program, and for other purposes.

Sponsored By: Representative Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11]

In Committee

Summary

A federal ban on congestion pricing in FHWA pilot programs. H.R. 351 would prevent the Federal Highway Administration from creating or maintaining any value pricing program under Section 1012(b) that uses value pricing, congestion pricing, or cordon pricing. The change blocks use of that specific federal authority to fund or run peak‑period tolls or zone charges for entering congested city areas. State and local transportation agencies could not rely on this federal value pricing program to implement those pricing tools.
