What if any penalties can and should be assessed against a State DOT if an applicable project does not receive a VE analysis?
The law requires that a VE analysis be completed on all applicable projects. The FHWA can withhold Federal-aid highway funds on any eligible project that did not receive a VE analysis. Hopefully, before the FHWA would take action to withhold Federal funds, the State’s VE program would be reviewed and modified to assure that all eligible projects would receive a VE analysis.
