Why not use the funds for this project to improve other secondary and local roadways or transfer them to educational or health care needs?
Funds for transportation improvements are earmarked to be used only for roadway improvements. The President and Congress enact legislation for the specific focus area, which are not transferable to other areas except by Congressional action. Similarly, the funds established in the Transportation bill are specific to the types of roadways to which those funds can be applied. Funds established for the interstate system cannot be applied to the local road system. Nationally, this is done to guarantee a proper disbursement of the roadway funds to those facilities that have the greatest usage and in the national interest, while still permitting some latitude for local projects.
