**Would require transfers between Title 23 section 402 and section 405 so section 402 highway safety funding grows at least four times faster than section 405.** The bill would create a statutory formula that makes the Secretary of Transportation compare year‑over‑year percentage changes and, when needed, reduce 405 funding and transfer the same amount to 402 to reach a 4-to-1 growth ratio. - States and state highway safety programs would receive additional 402 dollars when 402 growth lags, because the full amount reduced from 405 is moved into 402 in many cases. This shifts funds toward activities funded under section 402. - The Department of Transportation would be required to make an initial determination before apportioning funds and follow detailed adjustment rules for cases where both streams increase, only 402 increases, only 405 increases, or neither increases. The adjustment would take effect on October 1, 2026.
