Bill > S1066

This bill, known as the "Highway Funding Flexibility Act of 2025," modifies how unobligated funds from two federal electric vehicle infrastructure programs can be used. Specifically, the bill allows states to redirect unspent funds from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program towards traditional highway projects. These alternative uses include constructing or repairing federal highways, replacing or rehabilitating bridges, creating wildlife collision reduction infrastructure, and providing commercial vehicle parking. The bill mandates that any unobligated funds from these programs will be redistributed to states proportionally based on their existing federal highway funding allocations. Each state will receive a percentage of the funds equivalent to their share of total national highway apportionment. The redistributed funds can be used for highway-related projects, cannot be used for their original electric vehicle charging infrastructure purposes, and will be administered similarly to standard federal highway funding with existing federal transportation funding requirements. The goal appears to be providing states with more flexibility in using transportation infrastructure funding during periods when electric vehicle charging infrastructure investments might be slower than anticipated.
