Book excerpt: "Federal funding for highways isprovided to the states mostly through a series of grant programsknown as the Federal-Aid HighwayProgram, administered by theDepartment of Transportation's(DOT) Federal HighwayAdministration (FHWA). In 2005,the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,Efficient Transportation EquityAct: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) authorized $197.5 billion forthe Federal-Aid Highway Programfor fiscal years 2005 through 2009.The program operates on a "user pay" system, wherein users contribute to the Highway Trust Fund through fuel taxes and other fees. The distribution of fundingamong the states has been a contentious issue. States that receive less than their highwayusers contribute are known as "donor" states and states that receive more than their highwayusers contribute are known as "donee" states.GAO was asked to examine for theSAFETEA-LU period (1) howcontributions to the Highway Trust Fund compared with the fundingstates received, (2) what provisionswere used to address rate-of-returnissues across states, and (3) what additional factors affect therelationship between contributionsto the Highway Trust Fund and the funding states receive.

Download or read book Highway Trust Fund written by United States. Government Accountability Office and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Account within the Highway Trust Fund is the primary mechanism for funding federal highway programs. The account--administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) within the Department of Transportation (DOT)--channels about $33 billion in highway user excise taxes annually to states for highway projects. Although DOT and others projected that the account could run out of funds in fiscal year 2009, the balance fell more rapidly than expected and a shortfall became imminent in August 2008. In September, Congress passed legislation to provide $8 billion to replenish the account, but DOT officials anticipate the account could reach a critical stage again in fiscal year 2009. This report (1) describes the events that led to the decline in the account balance, including how DOT responded, and (2) identifies potential improvements in mechanisms to manage account solvency. This report also includes information on strategies GAO has reported on in the past that could be used to better align account outlays and revenues.
Download or read book Highway Trust Fund written by Nelson T. Petroni and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Trust Fund is the principal mechanism for funding federal highway and transit programs through receipts from excise taxes charged to highway users, such as taxes on motor fuels. The Department of Treasury (Treasury) and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) each prepare estimates of future receipts for the Highway Trust Fund semiannually. Treasury's receipt estimates are combined with the Department of Transportation's (DOT) estimates of outlays to create an estimate of the Highway Trust Fund balance for the President's Budget; CBO also projects outlays to develop an estimate of the fund balance. The agencies' most recent estimates show that the Highway Account within the Highway Trust Fund could have a negative balance as early as 2009, raising concerns about whether funding for federal highway programs--which were recently authorised by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users--will continue to be met. Consequently, the Subcommittee asked us to review and compare recent estimates made by Treasury and CBO. This testimony provides information on how (1) estimates are used to provide key information about the Highway Trust Fund, (2) the most recent Highway Trust Fund estimates -- based on receipt estimates made by Treasury and CBO--compare, and (3) Treasury's and CBO's estimates compare to actual receipts for recent years.
