Highway Formula Fairness Act

This bill changes how federal highway money is divided among the states starting in fiscal year 2027. Each state's starting share would be based on its share of these highway funds in fiscal year 2012. That amount would then be adjusted so that each state receives at least 95 percent of its share of highway user tax payments into the Highway Trust Fund, not counting the Mass Transit Account. The formula covers several programs, including the national highway performance, surface transportation block grant, highway safety, congestion and air quality, freight, carbon reduction, and PROTECT programs.
