FAST Act Implementation Nationally Significant Freight and Highway program provides financial

assistance—competitive grants or credit assistance—to nationally and

regionally significant freight and highway projects that align with the

program goals

The program is funded at $4.5 billion in total over 5 years

FY16 awards for 18 grants totaling nearly $770 million, will be combined

with other funding from federal, state, local, and private sources to

support $3.6 billion in infrastructure investment in 15 states and the

District of Columbia

National Highway Freight Program provides funding for freight projects on

the National Highway Freight Network.

The program provides $6.3 billion in formula funds over five years for
