Federal funds for highways

Federal funds for highways are the government’s financial contributions to help states build and maintain road infrastructure. These funds come from federal taxes, primarily on fuel, and are allocated to states through programs like the Federal-Aid Highway Program. The money supports projects such as road repairs, safety improvements, and new construction, ensuring transportation systems remain efficient and safe. States integrate these funds into their budgets, often matching them with state or local resources. This federal support helps promote interstate connectivity, economic growth, and mobility across the country.
