A BILL
To empower States with authority for most taxing and spending for
highway programs and mass transit programs, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Transportation Empowerment Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) the objective of the Federal highway program has been
to facilitate the construction of a modern freeway system that
promotes efficient interstate commerce by connecting all
States;
(2) that objective has been attained, and the Interstate
System connecting all States is near completion;
(3) each State has the responsibility of providing an
efficient transportation network for the residents of the
State;
(4) each State has the means to build and operate a network
of transportation systems, including highways, that best serves
the needs of the State;
(5) each State is best capable of determining the needs of
the State and acting on those needs;
(6) the Federal role in highway transportation has, over
time, usurped the role of the States by taxing motor 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;
(7) the Federal Government has used the Federal motor fuels
tax revenues to force all States to take actions that are not
necessarily appropriate for individual States;
(8) the Federal distribution, review, and enforcement
process wastes billions of dollars on unproductive activities;
(9) Federal mandates that apply uniformly to all 50 States,
regardless of the different circumstances of the States, cause
the States to waste billions of hard-earned tax dollars on
projects, programs, and activities that the States would not
otherwise undertake; and
(10) 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;
(2) to preserve Federal responsibility for the Dwight D.
Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways;
(3) to preserve the responsibility of the Department of
Transportation for--
(A) design, construction, and preservation of
transportation facilities on Federal public land;
(B) national programs of transportation research
and development and transportation safety; and
(C) emergency assistance to the States in response
to natural disasters;
(4) to eliminate to the maximum extent practicable Federal
obstacles to the ability of each State to apply innovative
solutions to the financing, design, construction, operation,
and preservation of Federal and State transportation
facilities; and
(5) with respect to transportation activities carried out
by States, local governments, and the private sector, to
encourage--
(A) competition among States, local governments,
and the private sector; and
(B) innovation, energy efficiency, private sector
participation, and productivity.
SEC. 3. FUNDING LIMITATION.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary of
Transportation determines for any of fiscal years 2015 through 2019
that the aggregate amount required to carry out transportation programs
and projects under this Act and amendments made by this Act exceeds the
estimated aggregate amount in the Highway Trust Fund available for
those programs and projects for the fiscal year, each amount made
available for such a program or project shall be reduced by the pro
rata percentage required to reduce the aggregate amount required to
carry out those programs and projects to an amount equal to that
available for those programs and projects in the Highway Trust Fund for
the fiscal year.

(referred to in this section as the ``Director'') submits the
report as required in subsection (c); and
