On July 5, President Obama signed the MAP-21 bill into law. A formal signing ceremony was held at the White House. 

One important point to note is that while many of the provisions in the new law will take effective once the President signs the bill, such as the revenue title, most of the policy provisions will not take effect until October 1, 2012.  That is because for the remaining three months of FY'12 (through September 30, 2012), the bill is essentially an extension of current law i.e. SAFETEA-LU.  The majority of new policy and regulatory provisions in the bill apply only to FY'13 and FY'14. 

One June 29, 2012, the full House passed HR 4348 (MAP-21), the two-year surface transportation authorization bill, by a vote of 373 to 52. Following House passage, the Senate also passed the bill by a vote of 74 to 19. 

Here is a table comparing the overall funding levels in the new bill (FY'13 and FY'14) versus the current program (FY'12).
