This book was released on 2008 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The divestiture of the Federal Highway Trust Fund gave local officials the financial resources necessary to encourage the development of new transportation-related projects. Under the auspices of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), some of these projects included bikeways, alternatives fuels demonstration projects, and corridor beautification. ISTEA was not designed to hinder highway development and research, but encourage the implementation of alternate mobility strategies, especially in the country's urban cores. While ISTEA was the first attempt at discretionary funding, it was eventually replaced by the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21 Century (TEA-21) and subsequently the Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act- A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Despite the efforts this legislation, most urban cores still seem dependent upon highways. This study conducts an historical evaluation of federal and state discretionary funds from 1993 to 2000 to determine the distribution patterns in Region VI (Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Oklahoma).

This book was released on 1997 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1930, the Congress established the first transportation discretionary program under which the executive branch could select specific transportation projects for federal funding, thus providing the executive branch with some latitude in allocating federal funds to the states. In that year, the Public Lands Program was established to pay for road work on the nation's public lands. In 1978, the Congress set up the Discretionary Bridge and Discretionary Interstate programs. The Discretionary Bridge Program was established to replace or rehabilitate high cost bridges while the Discretionary Interstate Program aimed to accelerate the construction of the Interstate Highway System. when the Interstate 4R Discretionary Program was begun in 1982, its goal was to resurface, restore, rehabilitate, and reconstruct the Interstate Highway System. Finally, the Ferry Boats and Facilities Program, begun in 1991, was intended to construct ferry boats and ferry terminal facilities. (See apps. I-V for additional information on ISTEA's provisions and eligibility requirements for each of the discretionary programs discussed in this report.) The Secretary of Transportation is responsible for selecting projects under the discretionary programs. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility to the FHWA Administrator. FHWA's Office of Engineering administers the programs, solicits applications from states, and compiles the applications and information for selection. States submit applications to FHWA's division offices, which either send the applications to FHWA's regional offices for compilation with other states' applications or to fl?WA'5 headquarters, as they do for Interstate Discretionary and 4R programs. Regional offices then send the applications to FHWA's Washington, D.C., headquarters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government provides about $20 billion a year in grants to states for highways; most of the money is raised through taxes on motor fuels. States, in financing their road-building programs, also rely heavily on motor fuel taxes and on fees paid by highway users. But these revenues are insufficient. This study reviews several approaches to augment traditional sources of funding for highways. The analysis covers changes in rules governing federal aid, state infrastructure banks, federal credit assistance, and private-sector financing of roads. Charts and tables.
