The Warrior Road Act directs the federal government to prioritize highway improvement projects that support national defense objectives. The bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to work with the Secretary of War to identify and report on defense-related highway projects within one year, with at least three highest-priority projects listed from each state. The legislation also mandates that states and metropolitan planning organizations give priority to these defense-designated projects when competing for federal highway funding, both through discretionary grants and standard apportionment funds. Additionally, the Secretary of Transportation must develop and maintain an updated list of the top three civil defense highway projects per state in consultation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency every two years. The bill does not specify new funding amounts but directs existing highway funding programs to prioritize defense-related infrastructure improvements.
