Description

As highway congestion continues to be a problem in many areas, states are looking to construct or expand highway projects. When a state dept. of transport. receives fed. funding for a highway project, the projects must comply with the Nat. Environmental Policy Act, the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirement, the Disadvantaged Bus. Enterprise program, and the Buy America program. This report addressed: (1) the types of benefits and costs associated with these requirements for fed.-aid highway projects; (2) the influence of these fed. requirements on states' decisions to use nonfederal or fed. funds for highway projects; and (3) the challenges associated with the fed. requirements and strategies used or proposed to address the challenges.
