Highways, Roads and Bridges - As introduced, requires the department of transportation to allocate federal and state funds to rural planning organizations in parity with its allocation of such funds to metropolitan planning organizations. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 54 and Title 64, Chapter 8.

HB 2094 requires Tennessee's Department of Transportation to allocate federal and state transportation funds equally to rural planning organizations (RPOs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) for transportation planning and projects. It directly affects rural communities and their planning groups by mandating that funding for rural transportation needs matches the level provided to urban areas. The bill amends state law to establish this parity requirement for all applicable federal and state funds applied for on or after July 1, 2026. This policy change ensures rural areas receive funding proportional to urban areas for road, highway, and bridge planning and implementation.
