SPEED Act
The SPEED Act (S 1894) amends federal transportation law by doubling the funding thresholds for projects eligible for categorical exclusion from environmental reviews. It increases the federal assistance limit from $6 million to $12 million and the project cost limit from $35 million to $70 million. This change directly affects state and local transportation projects that qualify under these thresholds, allowing them to bypass certain federal environmental assessments. The bill makes a technical adjustment to existing law without creating new requirements or altering approval processes.
