BASICS Act

Summary

The bill establishes a $5.5 billion annual program to replace or rehabilitate bridges in poor condition and adds $150 million each year for regional transportation planning. It tells states how to divide the money, sets a $45 million minimum per state, and requires local‑government consultation before spending in areas with fewer than 50,000 residents. The goal is to make the nation’s bridge network safer and give local leaders a say in how funds are used.
