Blue Envelope Act of 2025

House Votes

This bill would let “blue envelope” programs qualify for federal road safety funds. It changes a part of the Highway Safety Improvement Program so these programs can get money for safety projects. The bill’s short title is the Blue Envelope Act of 2025.

In simple terms, if passed, more federal safety dollars could support blue envelope programs, alongside other traffic safety efforts. The text does not define what these programs are or add other new rules; it mainly makes them eligible for funding under existing law.

• Who is affected: State and local transportation agencies and communities running blue envelope programs.
• What changes: Blue envelope programs become eligible for certain Highway Safety Improvement Program funds by amending 23 U.S.C. 148(a)(11)(B)(ii).
• When: Would take effect if enacted; no specific start date is listed in the text.
