Federal Highway Administration Funding Opportunities

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) offers State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) the financial, technical, and educational assistance to implement the construction of transportation facilities (highways) within their State. Participating funds (usually at an 80% ratio) are provided to the State DOTs, and they administer the roadway construction and other programs specified by the FHWA. The latest Highway Act, Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), contains numerous sections that may be of interest to State and local agencies working to protect and enhance the Great Lakes ecosystem.

All of the following programs are administered by the individual State DOTs, and they should be contacted about project funding and requirements for individual project submissions. The following FHWA Division Office representatives are available to help you contact the appropriate State representative for additional information on a specific program:
