What this bill would do
This bill is called the District of Columbia Transportation Funding Equality Act. It amends title 49 of the United States Code and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The main goal of the bill is to treat the District of Columbia as a State for specific grant programs. These programs deal with transportation, buses, growing and high-density states, and safe streets. We need to hold our officials accountable to ensure these changes are handled properly.
