Conservation and natural resources; increase project cost threshold for public roads or airports requiring environmental evaluations

Summary

The law lifts the threshold at which a public road or airport project must undergo a full environmental evaluation from $100 million to $200 million, with yearly inflation adjustments. It also requires the Department of Transportation to publish project benchmarks, annual status reports and value‑engineering savings for large projects, and changes some bidding and public‑private partnership rules. These steps are intended to speed project approvals while increasing transparency and oversight.
