SUMMARY:
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act is five-year legislation to improve the
Nation's surface transportation infrastructure, including our roads, bridges, transit systems, and rail
transportation network. The bill reforms and strengthens transportation programs, refocuses on
national priorities, provides long-term certainty and more flexibility for states and local governments,
streamlines project approval processes, and maintains a strong commitment to safety.

FIXING AMERICA'S SURFACE T7L4NSPORTATION ACT
Prepared by the Committee on Transportation and Infiaswcture Democratic Staff
December 2015
We need long-�erm inveslment in inJras�ructure to create jobs and rebuild America. With 14.2 mitlior►
workers dtrectly employed in injraslructure jobs and the average Anierican jamily spendrng thousands
per year on lransportation costs–the second greatesl household expense next to housing–1he value oJ
rebuilding and renewing our natio»'s inJrastructure is clear. Finally, aJ?er years ojgridlock and shorl-
term extensions, Congress wil!consider H.R. 22, the "Fixing America's Surjace Transporlatiorr Act
(FAST Act), a bipartisan, bicameral long-term reauthorization to fund highway, transit, highway sajety,
motor carrier safety, hazardous materials safety and passenger rail programs and projects.
FAST ACT KEY POINTS
• Provides Lnng-ter�n Funding:Provides$Z8l 6illion,funded from the Highway Trust
Fund,over five years for highway,transit,and highway safety programs.The length of the
bill is an acknowledgment that short-terni solutions are not helpful,as they cause States and
public transit authorities to delay or cancel projects,breed uncertainry in the Federal
program,and end up increasing the costs of project delivery.
• Bypasses Congress to Increase Transportation Investments:This legislation isn't perfect.
Unfortunately,while the Conference Report includes higher funding levels than the House-
passed STRR Act, it doesn't provide the level of investment needed to repair or rebuild our
aging system of roads and bridges. lt does,however,include a critical provision that would
allow for automatic adjustments and increased investments if Congress deposits additional
revenue into the Highway Tnist Fund. lf Congress does the right thing and comes up with
more revenue,this rnechanism will allow those funds to be invested in transportation projects
witfiout additional action by Congress. This is a step in the right direction.
• Boos�s Comnlerce and Ecortomlc Competitiveness:To be competitive in the world
economy,we need to be able to get our goods and people from point A to point B in the
quickest,most efficient way possible.This legislation will boost commerce and improve the
movement of goods by supporting and funding critical freight projects. It provides$6.3
billion to States for a freight formula program and an additional$4.5 billion for nationally
significant freight and highway projects under a competitive grant program. For the first time
ever,the Federal Government will provide dedicated funding specifically for freight projects,
including up to$500 miliion in freight rail and intermodal projects.
• Creates American Jobs:This legislation increases American manufacturing jobs by
strengthcning Buy America requirements and raising the domestic content threshold of transit
buses and rail cars from 60 percent to 70 percent. lf we are investing American dollars,we
should make sure those dollars are supporting American manufacturing and creating jobs
here at home—not in China.
• Boosts Bus Funding: The FAST Act injects a total of$3.7 billion over five years into the
bus program—a 75 percent increase over current levels.This critical funding will alleviate
traffic and provide local agencies with the money they need to buy additional buses and
expand operations to better connect communities.
• Strengthens Hazardous Materials'Emergency Response: Protects local communities and
emergency responders by requiring railroads to provide advanced notification and
information on high-hazard flammable trains to each State emergency response commission
and identification of the routes over which the liquid wili be transported. tt requires retrofit of
an additionai 40,000 tank cars to better protect cars and prevent catastrophic spills in
accidents.
• Boosts Funding for Arntrak: Provides$8 billion over the next five years for Amtrak and
$2.2 billion for tivee new grant programs:a state-of-good-repair program($1 billion);a
competitive rail safery and infrastructure grant program($1.1 billion);and,a program to
provide operating assistance to passenger rail providers to initiate or restore rail service($100
million). lt also increases the liability limit for rail passenger accidents to$295 million,
retroactively appties the limits to Amtralc's May 2015 derailment in Philadelphia,and
indexes it to inflation every five years.
• Proniotes Safety:It boosts funding for railway-highway gade crossings,motor carrier
safety grants,and National Highway Traffic Safery Administration grants;ensures higher
standards for transit safery;protects bus driver safety;and encourages states to provide
mental health and substance abuse treatment to Driving Under the Influence offenders.The
bill includes several critical new safery provisions to: create a new grant program to better
protect cyctists and pedestrians;combat distracted and impaired driving;and improve
education for new drivers.
• Opportunities for Disadvantaged Businesses and Con:munities:The bill conrinues the
highly-successful Disadvantaged Business Enterprise(DBE)Program that ensures women
and minority-0wned businesses are able to fairly compete for USDOT contracts.The bill also
expands minority-serving institution preferences to all University Transportation Centers.
The bill also authorizes development of plans in metropolitan areas to reduce commuting
distances,and to improve transportation connections between areas with high job
concentrations and areas with high concentrations of low-income households.Additionally,
the bill provides$45 million for a grant program to incentivize states to collect traffic stop
data to inform efforts to combat racial profiling.
• Reduces Workforce Skills Gap: Authorizes grants to help transit agencies overcome
workforce skill gaps by recruiting and training transit workers who are from
underrepresented populations,including minorities,women,individuals with disabilities,
veterans,and low income populations.These grants also provide better frontline workforce
training on safety,security,emergency preparedness,and communication during
emergencies.
• Promotes 21'�Century Vehicles:Requires USDOT to designate national electric vehicle
charging and hydrogen,propane,and natural gas fueling corridors to idenrify the near and
long-term investments needed to support the vehicles of the future.
• Explores Future Funding Mechanlsms: Provides$20 million a year to enable Scates to
test and experiment with innovative ways to fund needed infrastructure improvements,
including Vehicle Mites Traveled(VMT)mechanisms,which are critical to identifying a
sustainable,long-term revenue stream for surface transportation investment.
