Bill > HR3972

This bill, named the "Highway Funding Flexibility Act of 2025," provides new guidelines for repurposing unobligated funds from two existing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure programs: the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program. Under the bill, any unobligated funds from these programs can be redirected to alternative highway-related projects, including federal-aid highway construction, bridge replacement and rehabilitation, wildlife-vehicle collision reduction efforts, commercial vehicle parking improvements, and related engineering services. The bill mandates that these funds be distributed to states proportionally based on their existing highway funding apportionment, and specifies that the redistributed funds will remain available until their original expiration date and be treated as additional funding beyond standard highway allocations. Importantly, the bill prevents these funds from being used for their original EV charging infrastructure purposes, effectively allowing states more flexibility in how they spend transportation-related federal funding. The legislation aims to provide states with greater discretion in addressing their specific transportation infrastructure needs while technically maintaining the original funding sources.
