Summary:

Under the federal-aid highway program, billions of dollars are distributed to the states each year for the construction and repair of highways and related activities. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 authorized about $120 billion for this program for fiscal years 1992 through 1997. This report discusses (1) the way the formula works and the relevancy of the data used for the formula and (2) the major funding objectives implicit in the formula and the implications of alternative formula factors for achieving them.
