submitted 68 years ago by Pub. L. 85-767 to r/title-23-HIGHWAYS · 165 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A state may start a federal highway project before receiving federal money. The state must still follow the project's normal rules and requirements. Later, the Secretary may approve federal funds to repay the state.

(a) In General — The Secretary of Transportation may let a state go ahead and build a project authorized under this title even without using federal money yet. The state still has to follow every rule that would normally apply to the project, except for two rules that would otherwise force the state to only build using: (A) federal funds the state was already given, or (B) federal spending authority it was already given. (b) Obligation of Federal Share — If the state asks, and the two sides sign a project agreement, the Secretary may then commit ("obligate") some or all of the federal government's share of the cost. That money can come from any funding category the project qualifies for. (c) Inclusion in Transportation Improvement Program — The Secretary can only approve this kind of advance-funded project if it is already listed in the state's official transportation improvement program, as required by section 135(g).
