To amend the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 to prohibit congestion or cordon pricing in a value pricing program, and for other purposes.

HR 8121 amends the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act to block federal transportation programs from using congestion pricing (charging more during rush hours) or cordon pricing (fees for entering specific city zones) within value pricing programs. This directly affects federal transportation initiatives that might otherwise implement dynamic tolling systems to manage traffic flow. The bill adds a specific prohibition requiring the Secretary of Transportation to exclude these pricing methods from any program established under the law. It does not change existing state or local tolling policies but restricts how federal funds can be applied to such programs. The change is purely procedural, banning these specific pricing approaches within federally funded transportation projects.
