ROCKS Act

The ROCKS Act (S. 1672) directs the Department of Transportation to form a working group of experts and local officials to study the supply chains of essential construction materials like stone, sand, and gravel. The group is tasked with identifying ways to improve access to these resources and ensuring they can be transported efficiently to infrastructure sites. For everyday citizens, this bill aims to lower the costs and reduce the timelines of local road and bridge repairs by ensuring that the raw materials needed for construction are readily available and sustainably sourced.
