Funding and Planning for Transportation: Less Congestion, More Travel Options.

This Act mandates the inclusion of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies in national and state transportation planning to reduce congestion, pollution, and fuel consumption. It authorizes $250 million annually for competitive grants to fund projects promoting alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles, such as carpooling, cycling, and public transit. These changes aim to improve daily mobility, lower commuting costs, and enhance system resilience during emergencies.
Key points
New Funding for Congestion Relief: $250 million annually (2022-2026) is authorized for grants supporting TDM projects, focusing on reducing single-occupancy vehicle use.
