• Abstract:
  Funding is a crucial component of getting a safety project from idea to reality. Typically, the Federal share of a Federal-aid project is 80 or 90 percent; but even the remaining 10 or 20 percent can be difficult for agencies to fund, especially when local agencies are responsible for the match.1 Section 120(c)(1) of Title 23 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) allows the Federal share payable on certain safety projects to amount to 100 percent of the cost of construction of such projects. Under 23 U.S.C. 120(c) (1), a State may apply up to 100-percent Federal share for up to 10 percent of its total Federal-aid apportionment under 23 U.S.C. 104. This provision represents a huge—and often underutilized—opportunity for States to expand available funding to construct certain safety projects
