A $275 billion six-year TEA-21 reauthorization measure, which includes a provision that would require Congress to revisit the funding in the bill in the near future by requiring Congress to enact legislation by September 30, 2005, to ensure states receive a minimum rate of return of 95 percent on their contributions to the Highway Trust Fund by 2009 or face a shut down of the federal highway program.

The $275 billion in guaranteed funding provided by H.R. 3550 would consist of $217.4 billion for the core highway program (not including the portion of the program that is exempt from annual spending constraints), $51.5 billion for transit and $6 billion for behavioral and motor carrier safety.

The annual core highway funding breakdown would be: FY 2004—$33.6 billion; FY 2005—$34.6 billion; FY 2006—$35.7 billion; FY 2007—$36.7 billion; FY 2008—$37.8 billion; and FY 2009—$38.9 billion.
