• Abstract:
  As part of the Highway Bridge Program (HBP), States are required to expend "not less than 15 percent of the amount apportioned . . . each fiscal year" for eligible projects on bridges located off of the Federal-aid highway system, unless, "the State has inadequate needs to justify the expenditure." (See 23 U.S.C. §144(g)(2)). To implement this provision of law, the FHWA has established a process by which States may submit a request to reduce the annual HBP minimum amount of 15 percent expenditure on off-system bridge projects. This memorandum describes the process and explains the background for a State to request a waiver in accordance with the provisions of law.
