Safety Funding Parity Adjustment Act of 2025

This bill sets a process the Secretary of Transportation must follow each year before handing out federal highway safety grant money under sections 402 and 405 of title 23 of the U.S. Code. The Secretary must first check whether funding for either program went up compared with the prior year. If both went up and the percentage increase for section 402 is less than 4 times the percentage increase for section 405, the Secretary must move money from section 405 to section 402 until that 4-to-1 ratio is reached. If section 405 funding went up while section 402 funding went down, the Secretary must shift some or all of the section 405 increase to section 402. The process would take effect on October 1, 2026.
