Federal-Aid Highway Program

The Federal-Aid Highway Program is a government initiative that provides funding to states for building, maintaining, and improving the nation’s highways and roads. Funded primarily through federal gas taxes, the program helps ensure safe and efficient transportation across the country. States receive allocations based on formulas and priorities, collaborating with local agencies to plan infrastructure projects. This program supports necessary transportation infrastructure, reduces congestion, enhances safety, and promotes economic growth by connecting communities and enabling the movement of goods and people.
