The Highway Program is much more than highways. Funding is also provided for many local transportation related items through the State for bike and recreational trails, community walkways and gateways, rideshare and vanpool programs, air quality improvement programs, transit assistance, local bridge assistance, commuter parking, truck and bus safety, local pavement stripping and signing, police and traffic safety, bus and truck cargo regulations, motor fuel tax evasion, local planning and technology assistance, emergency disaster assistance and many other transportation related topics.
Federal Highway Administration's Minnesota Division Office provides
reimbursement to the State for authorized transportation activities. In providing federal funds, the most flexible and innovative financing techniques permissible under the law, and the most efficient administrative processes such as electronic signature are applied.
The Financial Management Section of the Minnesota Division Office provides the State with technical assistance on accounting and financial management systems, and through our Quality Financial Management Initiative, works closely with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, along with other partners, to streamline and improve the funding of all federal-aid transportation programs.
