Requires states and cities to plan roads and transit to cut pollution and traffic.
This bill would make states and large cities consider climate change and traffic when planning roads and public transportation. It would require them to set goals for reducing vehicle emissions and vehicle miles traveled, and for improving public transit access. If states don't meet these goals, they would need to spend a growing portion of their federal highway money on projects that help reduce emissions.
Today, states and cities plan transportation projects with various goals, but there isn't a strong federal requirement to specifically consider greenhouse gas emissions or vehicle miles traveled in all road expansion decisions. This bill would make reducing emissions and traffic key federal planning goals, require detailed analyses for large road projects, and tie federal highway funding to a state's ability to meet climate and traffic reduction targets.
