## Summary

This bill would create a new **regional hubs** category in the Rural Surface Transportation Grant Program to channel federal road funding to smaller towns and speed up grant timelines. - Smaller communities (10,000–75,000 residents): get a dedicated grant channel and a reserved 30% share of the program’s amounts each fiscal year, even if listed as part of an urbanized area. That focuses money on local growth and road access in mid-size rural towns. - Project sponsors and local governments: face much faster procedural deadlines because certain timing windows shrink from 60 days to 3 days. Shorter windows could require faster paperwork and planning. - Program administrators and the Secretary of Transportation: must add the new regional hubs subcategory in 23 U.S.C. §173 and reserve funds accordingly. The law also redesignates and renumbers existing paragraphs to insert the new regional hubs provision.
