Rural Road Funding Boost: 10% Reserved for High-Production Farm Routes.

This bill reserves 10% of federal rural transportation grant funds specifically for improving and building "farm-to-market roads" in highly productive agricultural counties. These eligible counties must meet high annual agricultural output thresholds (over $1 billion). The goal is to enhance infrastructure critical for moving agricultural products, potentially leading to safer roads and more efficient supply chains for residents and businesses in these areas.
Key points
10% of rural surface transportation grant money is now reserved for farm-to-market road projects.
Eligibility is limited to "covered counties" defined by extremely high agricultural production value (over $1 billion) and density.
The Department of Transportation will annually list the counties eligible for this dedicated funding stream in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture.
