Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

An "advanced technology vehicle" under the program shall include:

- a U.S.-flagged vessel.
The current Department of Transportation (DOT) facility funding awards to automobile manufacturers, among others, shall extend to U.S. commercial truck manufacturers and vessel manufacturers.
DOT, through its Loan Programs Office, shall:
- accelerate efforts to engage sufficient engineering expertise to verify that direct loan borrowers under the program are delivering projects in accordance with applicable loan agreements, and
- develop sufficient and quantifiable performance measures to achieve the intent of the direct loan program.
All proceeds from the repayment of direct loans shall be used by the Treasury to pay down the national debt.
The direct loan program shall be repealed on January 1, 2020.
