OBJECTIVES
Federal -aid Highway Program: To assist State transportation agencies in the planning and development of an integrated,
interconnected transportation system important to interstate commerce and travel by constructing and rehabilitating the
National Highway System (NHS), including the Eisenhower Interstate System; and for transportation improvements to
most other public roads; to provide aid for the repair of Federal -aid highways following disasters; to foster safe highway
design; to replace or rehabilitate deficient or obsolete bridges; and to provide for other special purposes. This program
also provides for the improvement of roads in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern
Mariana Islands, and the Alaska Highway. The Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP), as an adjunct to the Federal Aid
Highway Program, provides assistance to the Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) for Federally owned roads. It
provides transportation engineering services for planning, design, construction, and rehabilitation of the highways and
bridges providing access to federally owned lands. The Federal Lands Highway organization also provides training,
technology, deployment, engineering services, and products to other customers.
USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS
Federal -aid highway funds are generally apportioned by statutory formulas to the States. They are generally restricted to
roads open to the public and not functionally classified as rural minor collectors or local. Exceptions to this highway
functional classification restriction include: planning and research activities; bridge, bicycle and pedestrian, and safety
improvements that may be on any public road; transportation enhancement activities; the recreational trails program (see
program 20.219); safe routes to school, non - motorized
transportation, the FLHP, and public transportation improvement. The FLHP is not a grant program. For
highway projects, funds may be used for environmental studies, engineering and design services, right -of -way
acquisition and relocation assistance, and construction for capital improvement projects classified as new construction,
reconstruction, restoration, rehabilitation, and resurfacing, or for functional, geometric, or safety reasons. Funds may also

Intermodal Systems Planning Office
EXHIBIT D 725- 030.06
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

be used for planning; research, development, and technology transfer; intelligent transportation systems projects; roadside
beautification; wetland and natural habitat mitigation, traffic management and control improvements; improvements
necessary to accommodate other transportation modes, development and establishment of transportation management
systems; billboard removal; construction of bicycle facilities and pedestrian walkways; fringe and corridor parking; car
pool and van pool projects; transportation enhancements such as scenic and historic highway improvements; and
recreational trails. Funds generally cannot be used for routine highway operational activities, such as police patrols,
mowing, snow plowing, or maintenance, unless it is preventative maintenance. Also, funds authorized for the NHS,
Surface Transportation Program (STP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program, Equity
Bonus (BE) program, and some additional programs may be used for mass transportation improvements; CMAQ funds
are limited to projects and programs in air quality, non - attainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide,
and small particulate matter that reduce transportation related emissions. Eligibility criteria for the programs differ, so
program guidance should be consulted. Projects in urban areas of 50,000 or more population must be based on a
transportation planning process carried out by a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in cooperation with the State
and transit operators, and the projects must be included in metropolitan transportation plans and improvement programs.
Projects in non - metropolitan areas of a State must be consistent with a statewide transportation plan. Projects in both
metropolitan and non - metropolitan areas must also be included in a fiscally constrained Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) developed as part of the required statewide transportation planning process. The FHWA
and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) must approve the STIP jointly.
APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY
By law, the Federal -aid highway program is a federally assisted State program that requires each State to have a suitably
equipped and organized transportation department. Therefore, most projects are administered by or through State
transportation departments (State DOTs). Projects to be funded under the Federal -aid highway program are generally
selected by State DOTS or MPOs, in cooperation with appropriate local officials, as specified in 23 U.S.C. and
implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the same manner as other Federal aid highway
projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a State transportation department.
Most FLHP projects are administered by the FHWA Office of
Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various FLMAs. Under the FLHP, projects in the Indian Reservation
Road (IRR) Program are selected by Tribal governments and are approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the
Federal Highway Administration. Due to recent legislation, Tribal governments meeting certain requirements may now
administer various IRR projects on behalf of the BIA and FHWA. The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National
Park Service (NPS) select projects in the Refuge Road and Park Roads and Parkways programs, respectively. For the
Forest Highway Program, the Forest Service, the States and the Federal Highway Administration jointly select projects.
FORMULA AND MATCHING REQUIREMENTS
Most Federal -aid highway funds are distributed by statutory formula. Eligibility requirements for most programs are also
determined by legislative criteria. Some categories, including part of the bridge and Interstate Maintenance funds, are
distributed on a discretionary basis. The normal maximum Federal share is 90 percent for the EIS projects, and 80 percent
for most other projects. The Federal share for some programs may be increased in the case of States with large areas of
Federal lands. Some projects, including territorial highway projects, FLHP projects, certain safety improvements, and
emergency relief projects require no matching of Federal funds.
AUDITS
In accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular No. A -133 (Revised, June 27, 2003), Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Nonprofit Organizations, nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance of $500,000 or more in
Federal awards from all sources during their fiscal year must have a single or a program - specific audit conducted for that
year. Nonfederal entities that expend less than $500,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit
requirements for that year, except as noted in Circular No. A -133.
