HR 6950 changes federal law so Washington, D.C. is classified as a state, rather than a separate category, in four specific transportation grant programs. These cover bus funding, a population-based apportionment formula, culvert repair grants, and the Safe Streets and Roads for All program. The change could affect how much funding D.C. qualifies for or how it applies.
D.C. transportation, bus, and public safety agencies, plus D.C. residents who use transit, roads, and drainage infrastructure. No other state's funding treatment is affected.
Reclassifying D.C. as a state in these programs could change funding calculations or eligibility, affecting how these agencies plan and fund infrastructure projects.
