provision of law, projects assisted under
this subsection shall be treated as
projects on a Federal-aid system
under Chapter 1 of Title 23, United States
Code
Challenges – Federal Aid System

disburses to the local agency
• Each state DOT interprets the federal
regulations differently
– the means of disbursement vary considerably,
as does the amount of paperwork
