TITLE I--FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS Subtitle A--Authorizations and Programs (Sec. 1101) Reauthorizes through FY2020: certain core federal-aid highway programs; the transportation infrastructure finance and innovation program; the federal lands, tribal transportation, and federal lands transportation and access programs; the territorial and Puerto Rico highway program; and nationally significant freight and highway projects. Requires the expenditure of at least 10% of amounts made available for federal-aid highways and public transportation programs through small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Directs states to compile annual lists of small disadvantaged business enterprises according to minimum uniform criteria established by DOT. (Sec. 1102) Prescribes obligation ceilings for certain federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, with specified exceptions.

(Sec. 1104) Authorizes appropriations through FY2020 for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrative expenses. Revises and renames the surface transportation program as the surface transportation block grant program (STBGP) (as established by section 1109 of this Act). Requires DOT to set-aside specified amounts of a state's base apportionment of core program funds for the national highway freight program and metropolitan transportation planning. Directs DOT also to reserve certain amounts to states for: the national highway performance program for FY2019 and FY2020, and the STBGP through FY2020. (Sec. 1105) Authorizes DOT to make competitive grants to a state or group of states, a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) that serves an urbanized area with a population of more than than 200,000 individuals, a unit of local government or group of local governments, or other specified entities to furnish financial assistance for nationally significant freight and highway projects. Requires DOT to reserve out of such grant amounts for each fiscal year: 10% for small projects, and at least 25% for projects in rural areas. Makes the maximum federal share of project costs 60%. (Sec. 1106) Revises requirements for the national highway performance program. Authorizes DOT, upon request, to allow a state to use its apportionment of national highway performance program funds to pay subsidy and administrative costs of Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program secured loans, loan guarantees, or credit for surface transportation projects for a state, local government, public authority, public-private partnership, or any other legal entity. Allows a state's apportionment to be obligated for projects: for the reconstruction or rehabilitation of federal-aid highway bridges (non-National Highway System bridges), and to reduce the risk of failure of critical transportation infrastructure. (Sec. 1107) Revises requirements for the emergency relief fund program. Treats as an eligible expense for emergency relief program funding the costs of disaster debris removal for projects for the repair or reconstruction of federal-aid highways on tribal transportation facilities, federal lands transportation facilities, or other federally-owned roads that are open to public travel.
