It is the policy of the United States to encourage the deployment of communications facilities and services because of the benefits to interstate commerce from investment in and use of such communications facilities and services. It is the sense of Congress that Federal agencies should endeavor to create policy that— evaluates and provides for the inclusion of broadband conduit installation in federally funded highway construction projects; provides for such inclusion without negatively impacting the safety, operations, and maintenance of the highway facility, its users, or others; promotes investment and competition by ensuring that communications providers may access such conduit on a nondiscriminatory basis; and limits any burden on State departments of transportation incurred by the inclusion of broadband conduit in such projects.
