Extension of Highway, Safety, and Transit Programs Funding
This act temporarily extends funding for critical transportation programs, including federal-aid highways, highway safety, and transit initiatives, until the end of October 2021. It ensures the continuity of these programs and provides for federal employee compensation in case of a brief funding lapse. Citizens can expect ongoing infrastructure projects and transportation services.
Key points
Funding for federal highway, highway safety, and transit programs is extended until October 31, 2021.
Federal employees furloughed due to a lapse in Highway Trust Fund authority will be paid.
The act temporarily increases spending limits for certain programs, such as nationally significant freight and highway projects and highway safety research.
These changes are temporary and will be superseded if a broader transportation bill (H.R. 3684) is enacted.
