What it does
The Transportation Emergency Relief Extension Act would amend federal highway law to prevent the Secretary of Transportation from requiring emergency relief-funded projects to reach the construction obligation stage before the end of the sixth fiscal year following either a governor’s or presidential emergency declaration. It allows the Secretary to grant one-year extensions upon a governor’s request and additional extensions if justified, while also mandating biennial updates and public dissemination of the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Manual. The bill aims to increase flexibility and timeliness in disaster-related transportation recovery efforts.
