How do States contribute funds to a specific pooled fund project?
States may contribute Federal-aid funds, such as State Planning and Research Program (SPR) funds, by obligating them in FHWA’s Fiscal Management Information System (FMIS). Funds are obligated to the project number assigned to the pooled fund study. Pooled fund numbers in the format SPR-2(###) or SPR-3(###) are recorded in FMIS as 0002### or 0003###. Pooled fund numbers in the format TPF-5(###) are recorded in FMIS as TPF5###. Funds other than Federal-aid funds may be contributed to a study by check sent to FHWA’s lockbox. Checks are made payable to Federal Highway Administration and must record the pooled fund study number on the check or accompanying paperwork to ensure the funds are properly credited to the study. The address of the lockbox is:* Federal Highway Administration P.O.
