The implementation of the bill will require the payment from the United States government to the department of transportation for the replacement of road signs in need of metric reform with approved metric road signs. The United States Department of Transportation will be granted $5 million to research how many road signs there are in this country that are in need of metric reform as described in III (d) and the cost of replacing these road signs with approved metric road signs as described in III (e). The Senate and House of Representatives will create a joint committee of 10 members of each house called the M.E.T.R.I.C. Act Committee which will oversee this research. The D.O.T. must conduct their research by April 1, 2011 and report their findings to the M.E.T.R.I.C. Act Committee for approval. If the M.E.T.R.I.C. Act Committee approves of the cost of replacing the signs, Congress will appropriate the corresponding dollar amount for the replacement of signs in need of metric reform. As of January 1, 2011, all new road signs and signals must be metric approved road signs.

The Omnibus Foreign Trade and Competitiveness Act requires most federal bureaucracies to use the metric system and file a report every year about their progress in implementing the metric system. Construction and transportation has been exempted from converting to the metric system and there is no mandate on the private sector to use the metric system so efforts to convert the United States to the metric system have been only partially successful.
Section III.
The metric system is an international decimalized system of measurement, which is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world. Since the 1960s the International System of Units has been the internationally recognized standard metric system. Metric units are widely used around the world for personal, commercial and scientific purposes. A standard set of prefixes in powers of ten may be used to derive larger and smaller units from the base units. The International System of Units is the official system of measurement for all nations except for Myanmar, Liberia, and the United States.
