on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee 
on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the 
Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within 
the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
A BILL 
To empower States with authority for most taxing and 
spending for highway programs and mass transit pro-
grams, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Transportation Em-
powerment Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the objective of the Federal highway pro-
gram has been to facilitate the construction of a 
modern freeway system that promotes efficient inter-
state commerce by connecting all States; 
(2) that objective has been attained, and the 
Interstate System connecting all States is near com-
pletion; 
(3) today, surface transportation problems are 
increasingly local and regional; 
(4) each State, not a central bureaucracy, can 
better fulfill the responsibility of providing an effi-
cient transportation network for the residents of the 
State; 
(5) each State has the means to build and oper-
ate a network of transportation systems, including 
highways, that best serves the needs of the State; 
(6) each State is best capable of determining 
the needs of the State and acting on those needs; 
(7) the Federal role in highway transportation 
has, over time, usurped the role of the States by tax-
ing fuels used in the States and then distributing 
the proceeds to the States based on the Federal 
Government’s perceptions of what is best for the 
States;
(8) the Federal Government has used the Fed-
eral gasoline tax revenues to force all States to take 
actions that are not necessarily appropriate for indi-
vidual States; 
(9) the Federal distribution, review, and en-
forcement process wastes billions of dollars on un-
productive activities; 
(10) the Federal distribution is inequitable and 
biased against certain regions; 
(11) Federal mandates that apply uniformly to 
all 50 States, regardless of the different cir-
cumstances of the States, cause the States to waste 
billions of hard-earned tax dollars on projects, pro-
grams, and activities that the States would not oth-
erwise undertake; and 
(12) Congress has expressed a strong interest 
in reducing the role of the Federal Government by 
allowing each State to manage its own affairs. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are— 
(1) to return to the individual States maximum 
discretionary authority and fiscal responsibility for 
all elements of the national surface transportation 
systems that are not within the direct purview of the 
Federal Government;
