H.R. 2
The Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, also known as H.R. 2, is a comprehensive transportation bill that provides funding and guidelines for various highway and transportation programs in the United States from 1987 to 1990. It authorizes the use of the Highway Trust Fund for projects such as the Federal-aid Interstate-Primary program, bridge replacement, highway safety, and more. The bill includes provisions for the maintenance and improvement of highways, bridge rehabilitation, and the development of transportation infrastructure in U.S. territories. It also establishes guidelines for the relocation of utilities and the handling of displaced persons due to federal projects. Additionally, it amends the Urban Mass Transportation Act to provide funding for mass transit projects, including rail modernization and bus facilities. The bill emphasizes environmental considerations, such as the planting of native wildflowers along highways, and supports disadvantaged business enterprises by setting aside contracts for them. It also addresses issues related to toll roads, safety enhancements, and disaster relief funding.
