federal transportation legislation

Federal transportation legislation encompasses laws and policies that fund, regulate, and guide transportation systems across the United States. These laws allocate funds for infrastructure projects like highways, public transit, and railroads, set safety standards, and address environmental concerns. They also coordinate efforts between federal, state, and local agencies to improve mobility, ensure safety, and promote sustainable transportation options. Essentially, this legislation provides the legal framework and financial resources necessary to develop and maintain an efficient, safe, and accessible transportation network nationwide.
