Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact

Since the formula uses the most recent tax data, growing areas with heavier road use would see funding catch up to actual demand, potentially boosting property values near improved corridors.
“the amount of combined apportionments for the programs shall not be less than an amount equal to-- ``(I) 95 percent of the applicable percentage; multiplied by ``(II) the total amount of funds available for apportionment.”
