Surface Transportation Program (STP)

The Surface Transportation Program (STP) is a federal funding initiative in the United States that provides financial support to improve and maintain major roads, highways, and bridges. It aims to enhance transportation safety, reduce congestion, and support economic growth by funding projects like road repairs, widening, and new infrastructure development. State and local agencies select projects based on community needs, ensuring that transportation systems stay efficient and safe for all users. In essence, STP helps communities keep their roads in good condition and build better infrastructure for everyday travel and commerce.
