The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking public comments for the next surface transportation bill, aiming for input by August 20. This bill, set for passage by September 2026, dictates federal transportation spending. Advocates stress the significance of local communities having greater control and funding to manage transportation needs, as state departments often do not distribute funds equitably. A Brookings study indicates that federal formula funding often inadequately reaches urban areas. Submissions can influence the final legislation, allowing for diverse suggestions to enhance transport systems.
