Summary:

Federal and state funding for transportation projects has not kept up with roadway demands in recent years. Local governments have been shouldering more of the burden. This project examined the extent and effects of local agency contributions and collaborative projects that have included nonlocal features. Results include a set of recommendations that will allow local officials to better understand and more closely follow cooperative agreement requirements and procedures, promoting better decision-making for all involved.
