transportation funding

Transportation funding refers to the money allocated to develop, maintain, and improve transportation systems like roads, bridges, public transit, and airports. This funding comes from sources such as government taxes, tolls, fees, and sometimes federal grants. It ensures infrastructure is safe, efficient, and capable of handling current and future travel needs. Proper funding supports economic growth, safety, and mobility, helping people and goods move smoothly across regions. Effective transportation funding balances maintenance of existing infrastructure with investments in new projects, ensuring transportation systems serve communities effectively and sustainably.
