Transportation Asset Management Simplification Act

The Transportation Asset Management Simplification Act would adjust how states demonstrate compliance with federally required transportation asset management plans under 23 U.S.C. §119. The core change is to shift the recertification cadence from an annual process to a four-year cycle, tied to the existing recertification timing under paragraph (6)(B). The bill also clarifies how compliant and noncompliant statuses are treated over time, specifies submission requirements for states, and establishes a formal “cure” period for states found noncompliant (including a stay of penalties during cure). It also allows the Secretary to extend the cure period upon request. Overall, the bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on compliant states while preserving a remedial process for those not meeting requirements.
