States get minimum highway funding
If enacted, this bill would change the federal highway apportionment formula so each State must receive at least 0.5 percent of the total annual apportionment. That means every State would be guaranteed a minimum share equal to 0.5% of the total apportionment each year. State departments of transportation would receive those funds. This could raise funding for smaller States and shift funding between States. The change would take effect upon enactment.
