Transferability of Federal-aid Highway Funds
• Transferability Between Programs– A state may transfer up to 50 percent of the annual
apportionments from NHPP, STP, HSIP, CMAQ and TA program funds to any other program
– STP and TA funds suballocated to areas based on population shall not be transferred
– The Metropolitan Planning funds shall not be transferred
13
Highway Program Restructuring• National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)– Consolidates Interstate Maintenance, National Highway
System (NHS) programs and bridges on the NHS routes– NHS mileage cap is expanded from 159,000 miles to an
estimated 220,000 miles– Secretary will set minimum standards for Interstate and
NHS bridge condition
14
Highway Program Restructuring• Surface Transportation Program (STP)– No set-aside for Transportation Enhancements– Includes minimum set-aside for “off-system” bridges –
estimated to be $9.5 million for Iowa– 50 percent of apportionments are suballocated to areas
within the state based on population– Eligibility includes transportation enhancement activities,
recreational trails, truck parking facilities, safe routes to schools projects and highway bridges on any pubic road
15
Highway Program Restructuring• Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)– Eliminates set-aside for High Risk Rural Roads – unless rural
road safety worsens– Adds set-aside for Rail-Highway Grade Crossings – estimated
to be $4.7 million for Iowa– Adds requirement for regular update of Strategic Highway
Safety Plan
16
Highway Program Restructuring• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)– Generally unchanged
• Metropolitan Planning– Generally unchanged
17
Highway Program Restructuring
• Transportation Alternatives (TA)– Eliminated the categorical funding for:• Transportation Enhancements (TE)• Safe Routes to School• Recreational Trails• National Scenic Byways
– Former TE activities are eligible for funding under the TA Program (with a few exceptions such as museums)
18
Highway Program Restructuring
• Transportation Alternatives (continued)– An estimated 35 percent reduction compared to previous
eligible program funding– 50 percent of funding suballocated to areas within the
state based on population and awarded competitively– Remaining 50 percent can be used for eligible activities
anywhere in the state or transferred to other programs– Recreational Trails program is continued with funding from
this program; unless a State chooses to opt out
19
Highway Program Restructuring• Emergency Relief Program– Authorized at current level of $100 million per year– State must apply and provide complete list of projects and
costs within 2 years of event– Option for the Secretary to extend the 180-day limit on

20
Highway Program Restructuring
• Projects of National and Regional Significance (PNRS)– National discretionary program – awaiting guidance but
could be similar to the TIGER program– $500 million for FFY 2013 from General Fund; subject to
being funded through appropriations for grants in a wide variety of transportation modes
– No funding authorized for FFY 2014
