Abstract:On December 4, 2015, the President signed the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act into law (Pub. L. No. 114-94), which reauthorizes Federal surface transportation programs for five fiscal years (FYs 2016-2020). Among the FAST Act provisions which support goods movement and the U.S. economy is a new formula program for freight projects. Section 1116 of the FAST Act amends 23 U.S.C. § 167 to establish the National Highway Freight Program (NHFP). Section 1116 also provides for a new National Highway Freight Network (NHFN), replacing the National Freight Network and Primary Freight Network established under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Section 1116 requires the redesignation of the NHFN every five years, and repeals Section 1116 of MAP-21, which allowed for an increased Federal share for certain freight projects. The attached NHFP Implementation Guidance provides policy direction on the program and provides information on funding, eligible activities, and specific requirements.
