AI Summary

Establishes a federally funded grant program to build and improve public parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles on the Federal‑aid highway system to improve driver safety. Grants must fund publicly accessible, free parking for commercial drivers; projects are treated as Federal‑aid highway projects and funds remain available for three years.

Requires the Department of Transportation to publish an initial national report on commercial motor vehicle parking within four years and then biennially, assessing supply, use, project outcomes, and long‑term operations. Authorizes $151 million per year for FY2025–FY2029 to carry out the program.
