## Provisions PRIA read

- Minimum 0.5% Highway Share for States: mixed, high. If enacted, each State would be guaranteed at least 0.5% of the total federal highway apportionment each year. States whose calculated share would have been below 0.5% would receive more money. Other States could receive slightly smaller shares because the same total pool would be reallocated to me…
