AI Summary
This bill, the Farm-to-Market Road Repair Act of 2021, amends Title 23 of the United States Code to expand the eligibility for the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program. Specifically, it adds "roads in rural areas that primarily serve to transport agricultural products from a farm or ranch to a marketplace" as an eligible use for the program. Additionally, it increases the population threshold for smaller communities to use Block Grant funds on rural minor collectors, local roads, and critical rural freight corridors from 5,000 to 50,000 people. These changes are intended to improve the maintenance and repair of roads that are crucial for transporting agricultural goods from farms to market.
