Federal Funding Flexibility: Use of Federal-Aid Highway Fund Transfers by State DOTs
The Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) represents one of the largest grant programs in the
federal domestic budget and is a combination of individual
categorical and discretionary grant programs.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 1023: Federal Funding Flexibility:
Use of Federal-Aid Highway Fund Transfers by State DOTs
investigates recent experience
with statutory features that allow recipients of formula grants to shift the authority to use federal
funds from one FAHP category to another, and even into other modes.
Supplemental to the report are a related
