To amend the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 to prohibit congestion or cordon pricing in a value pricing program, and for other purposes.

# HR 351 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** HR 351 would ban the federal government from allowing or supporting congestion pricing and cordon pricing programs on highways and roads. These programs charge drivers fees to use certain roads during busy times or to enter congested urban areas—strategies some cities use to reduce traffic and generate revenue. The bill specifically targets the Federal Highway Administration's Value Pricing Pilot Program, which currently permits such pricing experiments. **Who It Affects:** This bill would impact cities and states considering congestion pricing as a traffic management tool, the Federal Highway Administration's authority over transportation programs, and drivers in areas where such pricing might otherwise be implemented.

It's relevant to ongoing or proposed congestion pricing projects, such as similar initiatives in major cities nationwide. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced further at this time.
