This bill lets states and local governments use federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds to build roundabouts. It adds “construction of roundabouts” to the list of projects that qualify for this funding, with the goal of improving road safety and traffic flow.

Key points:

• Who is affected: State DOTs, cities, and counties; drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on local roads.
• What changes: Roundabout construction becomes an eligible use of existing federal transportation grants.
• Money: No new funding is created; it only expands what current funds can be used for.
