Districts Statewide Consultant Engineering Specific Approp. Local Benefits Local Program
Appropriations: Districts Statewide
State Motor fuel taxes Vehicle registrations Bond sales (when authorized) Federal Allocations/Apportionments/Earmarks via legislation Max level each year = ceiling Local Reimbursements
Local program Mostly federal funds, some state & local State program Federal, State & Local funds Road Maintenance Bridge Maintenance Congestion Mitigation System Expansion Strategic goals for road/bridge condition: 90/93
Local - Federal program based on “fair share” of federal funds (18.9%) Local participation in state implemented projects State funded grants for local benefits program State funds used on local lead projects
It’s all tied to State Appropriations Appropriation = permission to obligate funds Maximum affordable amount each FY Approved by GA, signed by Gov. (Budget) Federal funds are reimbursements Spend it before you get it back Federal funds require state or local match % varies based on fed program/roadway type
Contracts - pay as you go Appropriate full cost of contracts Pay bills as received Bill FHWA for federal reimbursements Re-appropriate remaining cost of ongoing contracts in following FY’s Programs pay out over time Generally over 4 years 20/50/20/10
