AASHTO Summary of the Proposed MAP-21 Reauthorization Act
On May 12, 2014, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee released the text of the proposed MAP-21 Reauthorization Act. AASHTO has released a summary of this legislation.
Overall, the MAP-21 Reauthorization Act provides a total of $265 billion for highway programs over six years and continues the core program structure put in place in MAP-21 including the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), Surface Transportation Program (STP), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). The bill also creates a new National Freight Program that distributes funding to state DOTs via formula. Funding is continued at current levels through FY 2020, adjusted for inflation.
