transportation funding
Infrastructure budget allocation
Transportation funding is money allocated to build and maintain roads, bridges, public transit, airports, and other infrastructure for moving people and goods.
Sources include fuel taxes, tolls, vehicle registration fees, and government appropriations.
Debates over transportation funding often involve tensions between highway spending and public transit: The bill would shift transportation funding toward rail projects.
