Rural Safety Administration Flexibility Act

This bill changes a federal highway safety program rule about how much of a state's highway safety grant money must be spent by local governments, such as counties and cities. Under current law, at least 40 percent of these funds must be spent by local governments. The bill would lower that required share to 20 percent for rural states. It defines a rural state as any state whose population density is below the national average, based on the most recent 10-year Census.
