Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to set up a pilot grant program within 180 days to help states digitize county road maps and records. States receiving grants would pass funds to counties, which could use them to convert paper maps into standard electronic map data and to train staff or hire contractors. Each participating state's transportation department would keep the county road data on a public website, mark which roads are public or private, make it work with outside mapping services, and update it at least once a year. The bill authorizes $20 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031, requires yearly state reports, and states that it does not change the legal status or ownership of any road.
