The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114–94) was enacted on December 4, 2015. Among the new
provisions included in this Act, is the establishment of a new National Surface Transportation and Innovative Finance Bureau
(the Bureau) within the Office of the Secretary of Transportation that will align, coordinate, and consolidate aspects of
the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) existing surface transportation innovative finance programs within the new
Bureau. The FAST Act calls for the Bureau to fulfill a number of specific responsibilities, including the following: Provide
assistance and communicate best practices and financing and funding opportunities to entities eligible under USDOT infrastructure
finance programs; Administer the application process for USDOT infrastructure finance programs; Administer the application
process for a new Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects program; Reduce uncertainty and delays related to environmental
reviews and permitting, as well as project delivery and procurement risks and costs for projects financed by the USDOT infrastructure
finance programs and the new Nationally Significant Freight and Highways Projects programs; Increase transparency and the
public availability of information regarding projects financed by the USDOT infrastructure finance programs and the new Nationally
Significant Freight and Highway Projects program; and Promote best practices in procurement for projects financed by the USDOT
infrastructure finance programs and the new Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects program by developing benchmarks
related to procurement. The Bureau will build on a number of actions that USDOT has taken to advance these goals, including
the establishment of USDOT's Build America Transportation Investment Center in 2014 as a single point of contact and coordination
for states, municipalities and project sponsors looking to utilize federal transportation expertise, apply for federal transportation
credit programs, and explore ways to access private capital through public private partnerships. Notably, in their explanatory
statement of the FAST Act, Congressional conferees explicitly recognized the accomplishments of the Administration's Build
America Investment Initiative to increase infrastructure investment and economic growth. To assist with establishing the Bureau,
the FAST Act provides the Secretary with certain authorities to redirect personnel and budgetary resources, if necessary,
to support the establishment and effectiveness of the Bureau. These authorities are available for two years, expiring in December
2017. The Administration is proposing extending these authorities to allow full implementation of the Bureau. The FAST Act
requires that, within 90 days of enactment and in 90-day intervals thereafter, USDOT report to Congress on how these authorities
are being implemented, and any additional legislative actions that may be needed. The Bureau is managed by an Executive Director
reporting to the Under Secretary of Transportation for Policy. The FAST Act also established a new Council on Credit and Finance
(the Council) chaired by the Deputy Secretary, which is charged with the review and approval of innovative finance applications,
making recommendations to the Secretary, and reviewing approved projects on a regular basis. The Council builds on the Credit
Council that USDOT had previously established through administrative measures.

The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–264) authorized the collection of user fees for services provided
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to aircraft that neither take off nor land in the United States, commonly known
as overflight fees. The Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million of such fees for the Essential Air Service (EAS)
program and rural airport improvements. In addition, the FAA Modernization and Reauthorization Act (P.L. 112–95) requires
that, in any fiscal year, overflight fees collected in excess of $50 million will be available to carry out the EAS program.
The 2018 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program and rely only on mandatory funding.

Through 1997, the Essential Air Service (EAS) program was funded from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. Starting in 1998,
the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization funded it as a mandatory program supported by overflight fees under the
Essential Air Service and Rural Airport Improvement Fund. In addition to mandatory funding supported by overflight fees, direct
appropriations from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to Payments to Air Carriers have been enacted every year beginning in
2002 to meet the needs of the essential air service program. The 2018 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program; no discretionary
funding is requested in 2018.

For 2018, the Budget requests $9,891 million for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations. These funds will be used
to continue to promote aviation safety and efficiency. The Budget provides funding for the Air Traffic Organization (ATO)
which is responsible for managing the air traffic control system. As a performance-based organization, the ATO is designed
to provide cost-effective, efficient, and, above all, safe air traffic services. The Budget also funds the Aviation Safety
Organization which ensures the safe operation of the airlines and certifies new aviation products. In addition, the request
also funds regulation of the commercial space transportation industry, as well as FAA policy oversight and overall management
functions.

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance program (chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). In December 2014,
Congress sunset part of the aviation insurance program. Specifically, Congress returned U.S. air carriers to the commercial
aviation market for all of their war risk insurance coverage by ending the FAA's authority to provide war risk insurance for
a premium. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44305, the FAA may provide insurance without premium at the request of the Secretary of Defense
or the head of a department, agency, or instrumentality designated by the President when the Secretary of Defense or the designated
head agrees to indemnify the Secretary of Transportation against all losses covered by the insurance. The "non-premium" aviation
insurance program is authorized through December 31, 2018.

In 1997, FHWA received an appropriation from the General Fund for the State Infrastructure Banks (SIBs) program.
All of the funds have been provided to the States to capitalize the infrastructure banks. Because the funding was provided
as grants, and not loans, FHWA will not receive reimbursements of amounts expended for the SIBs program. No new budgetary
resources are requested in FY 2018.

Enacted on February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provided $27.5 billion from
the General Fund to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), of which $26.6 billion was apportioned to States based on formulas
described in the Recovery Act and $0.9 billion was allocated to programs identified in the Recovery Act, including the Indian
Reservation Roads Program, Park Roads and Parkway Program, Forest Highway Program, Refuge Roads Program, Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise Bonding Assistance, Territorial Highway Program, Puerto Rico Highway Program, and the Ferry Boat Discretionary
Program. Administrative oversight funds were available through September 30, 2012 and all other funds were available through
September 30, 2010. The FHWA Recovery Act funds have been used to invest in transportation, environmental protection, and
other infrastructure that will provide longer term economic benefits to the Nation. The Recovery Act funds augmented existing
investments, authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users,
enabled States, regional, and local governments to accelerate to completion a number of highway infrastructure projects planned
or underway. Since the Recovery Act was enacted in February 2009, more than 42,000 miles of pavement across the United States
have been improved. As of September 30, 2015, States have expended 100% of Recovery Act obligations . As of September 30,
2015 Recovery Act funds are cancelled and are no longer available for expenditure. No new budget authority is requested for
FY 2018.

For 2016, Section 31202 of Public Law 114–94, Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, authorized additional appropriations
from the General Fund of the Treasury to the Highway Account and Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund in the amounts
of $51.9 billion and $18.1 billion, respectively. This payment was not subject to sequestration, per OMB A-11 Section 100.15,
because the budgetary resources were enacted after the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 2016 was signed.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was used to make
cash advances to States for the purpose of purchasing right-of-way parcels in advance of highway construction and thereby
preventing the inflation of land prices from significantly increasing construction costs. The purchase of right-of-way is
an eligible expense of the Federal-Aid Highway program.
This program was terminated by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century of 1998, but will continue to be shown for
reporting purposes as loan balances remain outstanding. No new budgetary resources are requested in FY 2018.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides for the transfer from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund of
revenue from the motor fuel tax and certain other taxes paid by highway users. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the
amounts to be transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for Federal-aid highways
and other programs as specified by law. To address long-standing insolvency issues, the 2018 Budget proposes to show a reduction
of outlays to only those that can be supported by available revenues over the ten-year window.
The following Status of Funds table presents the status of Highway Trust Fund.
Cash balances.—The Status of Funds table begins with the unexpended balance on a "cash basis'' at the start of the year. The table shows
the amount of cash invested in Federal securities at par value and the amount of cash on hand, i.e., uninvested balance. Next,
the table provides the amounts of cash income and cash outlays during each year to show the cash balance at the end of each
year.
Revenues.—The Budget presentation includes estimated receipts from existing Highway Trust Fund excise taxes, which would continue
to be deposited into the Highway and Mass Transit Accounts of the Highway Trust Fund in the same manner as current law.
General Fund Transfers.—The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (Public Law 112–141) authorized transfers into the Highway Trust Fund
of $2.4 billion from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund in 2012, $6.2 billion from the General Fund in
2013, and $12.6 billion from the General Fund in 2014. The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (Public Law 113–159)
authorized transfers into the Highway Trust Fund of $1.0 billion from the LUST Trust Fund in FY 2014, and $9.8 billion from
the General Fund in 2014. The Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114–41)
authorized the transfer into the Highway Trust Fund of $8.068 billion from the General Fund of the Treasury in 2015. This
transfer was not subject to sequestration. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114–94) authorized
the transfer into the Highway Trust Fund of $70.0 billion from the General Fund of the Treasury in 2016. This transfer was
not subject to sequestration. The FAST Act authorized the transfer of $100 million into the Highway Trust Fund from the LUST
Trust Fund in both FY 2017 and FY 2018. The FY 2017 transfer was subject to sequestration.

The Federal-aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to aid in the development, operations, and management of an intermodal
transportation system that is economically efficient, environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the Nation to compete
in the global economy, and moves people and goods safely. All programs included within FAH are proposed to be financed from
the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund, and most are distributed via apportionments and allocations to States. Liquidating
cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations incurred under contract authority.
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 2018 budget consists of the following programs: Highway Safety Improvement Program;
National Highway Freight Program; National Highway Performance Program; Surface Transportation Block Grant Program; Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program; Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program; Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation
Programs; Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects; Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA)
Program; Research, Technology and Education Program; and Federal Allocation Programs.
Highway Safety Improvement Program.—The performance-based Highway Safety Improvement Program ($2.6 billion) provides funding to significantly reduce traffic
fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on Tribal land. FHWA,
through national leadership and innovation, focuses on improving the safety of roadway infrastructure on all public roads.
The program provides a data- and performance-driven strategic approach to improving traffic safety to reduce fatalities and
serious injuries. It strengthens coordination among all highway safety modes, including National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) , in conjunction with all Department safety initiatives. It
continues the requirement that each State utilize a Strategic Highway Safety Plan. This statewide, coordinated safety plan
provides a comprehensive framework for establishing statewide goals, objectives, and performance targets while ensuring the
effective use of safety-focused funding. The Highway Safety Improvement Program includes a $235 million targeted set-aside,
the Railway-Highway Crossings Program, to fund safety improvements to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries, and crashes
at public grade crossings.
National Highway Freight Program.—The National Highway Freight Program ($1.2 billion), is a formula program established by the FAST Act that will provide
States with necessary funds for vital projects that will improve the movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network,
which is comprised of the 41,500-mile Primary Highway Freight System, all other Interstates not on the PHFS, and other State-identified
critical rural and urban corridors. The FAST Act requires all States using formula dollars to complete a multimodal State
Freight Plan.
National Highway Performance Program.—The National Highway Performance Program ($23.3 billion) is a formula-based program that focuses significant Federal resources
for the following purposes: to support the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS); to support the
construction of new facilities on the NHS; and to ensure that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction support
progress toward the achievement of performance targets for the NHS. The program includes performance management features,
holds States accountable for achieving performance targets, and provides flexibility to States for making transportation investment
decisions. The 220,000-mile NHS is comprised of rural and urban roads serving major population centers, international border
crossings, intermodal transportation facilities, and major travel destinations. The NHS includes the Interstate System, all
principal arterials, intermodal connectors, and other roads important to mobility, commerce, national defense, and intermodal
connectivity. The NHS provides mobility to the vast majority of the Nation's population and almost all of its commerce , supports
national defense, and promotes intermodal connectivity.
Surface Transportation Block Grant Program.—The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program ($11.7 billion) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and
localities for projects to preserve and improve the condition and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and safety
projects on any public road, and facilities for non-motorized transportation. The flexible nature of this program allows States
to direct funding to areas of greatest need while also fostering innovation. This program gives State transportation agencies
the ability to target funding to State and local priorities. States will identify projects for funding in consultation with
local transportation officials in rural areas and in cooperation with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in metropolitan
areas.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program.—The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program ($2.4 billion) will help States, local governments,
and private-sector sponsors reduce highway congestion and harmful emissions, and assist many areas in reaching attainment
of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The CMAQ program provides a flexible funding source for State and local
governments to fund transportation projects and programs that are designed to help localities meet the requirements of the
Clean Air Act and its amendments, and help reduce regional congestion on transportation networks. CMAQ investments support
transportation projects that are designed to reduce the emissions from mobile sources in areas that have been designated as
in nonattainment or in maintenance of the NAAQS by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program.—The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program ($343 million) provides funds for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs) for multimodal transportation planning and programming in metropolitan areas. Metropolitan planning activities include:
the collection and analysis of data on demographics, trends, and system performance; travel demand and system performance
forecasting; identification and prioritization of transportation system improvement needs; and coordination of the planning
process and decision-making with the public, elected officials, and stakeholder groups. The planning process will provide
consideration for projects that increase safety, support economic vitality, increase accessibility, mobility, and connectivity,
protect and enhance the environment, emphasize the preservation of existing infrastructure, and increase security of the transportation
system.
Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs.—The Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs ($1.1 billion) provide funding for transportation projects on Federal
and Tribal lands for construction and engineering projects that will: provide multi-modal access to basic community services
including safer all-weather access to schools and healthcare facilities for 567 federally-recognized sovereign Tribal governments;
improve multi-modal access to recreational areas on federal lands; and expand economic development in and around federal and
Tribal lands while preserving the environment and reducing congestion.
Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects.—The Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects ($900 million) program is a discretionary grant program, established
by the FAST Act, for major freight and highway projects that will improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement
of freight and people. Through the advancement of construction-ready projects, this program will enhance the Nation's freight
movement.
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program.—The TIFIA Program ($285 million) provides contract authority to cover the subsidy cost of providing credit assistance for
nationally or regionally significant transportation projects. The TIFIA Program leverages Federal dollars in a time of scarce
budgetary resources, facilitating private participation in transportation projects and encouraging innovative financing mechanisms
that help advance projects sooner. This program offers flexible repayment terms and attracts private capital to facilitate
transportation projects that would otherwise go unfunded.
Research, Technology, and Education Program.—The Research, Technology, and Education (RT&E) Program ($418 million) provides for a comprehensive, nationally-coordinated
research, technology, and education program that will advance the Department of Transportation's goals, while accelerating
innovation delivery and technology implementation. FHWA research, development and technology activities include: a highway
research and development program; a technology and innovation deployment program; an intelligent transportation systems program;
and a training and education program. The RT&E Program supports activities in the areas of safety, infrastructure preservation,
operations, environmental sustainability, and policy. FHWA is in a unique leadership position to identify and address issues
that require high-risk, long-term research, and research on emerging issues of national significance. FHWA's leadership role
is necessary to build effective partnerships to maximize the investment in the transportation system. The entire innovation
lifecycle is covered under the RT&E Program umbrella from agenda setting to the deployment of technologies and innovations.
Federal Allocation Programs.—This categorization consists of funding ($404 million) for several important programs: Emergency Relief; Territorial and
Puerto Rico Highway Program; Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities; On-the-Job Training; Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise; and Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects. The Emergency Relief Program has been funded through a recurring
annual authorization of $100 million since 1972. Emergency Relief funding assists Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments
with the expense of repairing serious damage to Federal-aid, Tribal, and Federal Lands highways resulting from natural disasters
or catastrophic failures. The Territorial and Puerto Rico Highway Program provides funding for critical highway programs in
Puerto Rico and the four territories of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the United
States Virgin Islands. The Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities program provides funding for the construction
of ferry boats and ferry terminal facilities which will improve connectivity between NHS segments, provide travel mode options,
and reduce congestion. The On-the-Job Training program provides funding for developing, conducting, and administering surface
transportation and technology training, including skill improvement programs and job readiness. The Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise program provides funding for developing, conducting, and administering training and assistance programs to increase
the proficiency of minority businesses to compete, on an equal basis, for contracts and subcontracts. The Highway Use Tax
Evasion Projects program provides funding to the Internal Revenue Service, other Federal agencies, and the States to carry
out intergovernmental enforcement efforts along with training and research to reduce evasion of payment of motor fuel and
other highway use taxes, which are the principal sources for Federal and State highway funding.

the earmarked amount was originally designated or directed notifies the Secretary of Transportation of its intent to use its
authority under this section and submits a quarterly report to the Secretary identifying the projects to which the funding
would be applied. Notwithstanding the original period of availability of funds to be obligated under this section, such funds
and associated obligation limitation shall remain available for obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years after the fiscal
year in which the Secretary of Transportation is notified. The Federal share of the cost of a project carried out with funds
made available under this section shall be the same as associated with the earmark.
(b) In this section, the term "earmarked amount" means—
(1) congressionally directed spending, as defined in rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, identified in a prior law,
report, or joint explanatory statement, which was authorized to be appropriated or appropriated more than 10 fiscal years
prior to the current fiscal year, and administered by the Federal Highway Administration; or

except that a State or territory may apply such authority to unexpended balances of funds from projects or activities the
State or territory certifies have been closed and for which payments have been made under a final voucher.
(d) The Secretary shall submit consolidated reports of the information provided by the States and territories each quarter to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation by the Motor
Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106–159). Prior to this legislation, motor carrier safety responsibilities were
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Highway Administration.
FMCSA's mission is to promote safe commercial motor vehicle operation and reduce truck and bus crashes. The agency accomplishes
this mission by reducing fatalities and property losses associated with commercial motor vehicles through education, regulation,
enforcement, and research and innovative technology, thereby achieving a safer and more secure transportation environment.
FMCSA is also responsible for enforcing Federal motor carrier safety and hazardous materials regulations for all commercial
vehicles entering the United States along its southern and northern borders.

Motor Carrier Safety Grants support States to conduct compliance reviews, identify and apprehend traffic violators, conduct
roadside inspections, and support safety audits on new entrant carriers. Using take-down funds, the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) also supports States by conducting training for State agency personnel to accomplish motor carrier
safety objectives. In addition, FMCSA reviews State commercial driver's license (CDL) oversight activities to prevent unqualified
drivers from being issued CDLs, and actively engages with industry and other stakeholders through Innovative Technology programs
to improve the safety and productivity of commercial vehicles and drivers. The Motor Carriers Safety Grants account maintains
the Agency's individual grants under the Compliance, Safety and Accountability Program.

The Operations and Programs account provides the necessary resources to support program and administrative activities for
motor carrier safety. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will continue to improve safety and reduce severe
and fatal commercial motor vehicles crashes by raising the bar to entry into the commercial motor vehicle industry, by requiring
operators to maintain standards to remain in the industry, and by removing high-risk carriers, vehicles, drivers and service
providers from operation. Funding supports nationwide motor carrier safety and consumer enforcement efforts, including the
continuation of the Compliance, Safety and Accountability Program; regulation and enforcement of movers of household goods,
and Federal safety enforcement activities at the borders to ensure that foreign-domiciled carriers entering the U.S. are in
compliance with FMSCA Regulations. Resources are also provided to fund regulatory development and implementation, investment
in research and technology, and safety outreach and education. The 2018 funding request reflects FMCSA's requirements to fund

The Vehicle Safety programs support activities to reduce highway fatalities, prevent injuries, and reduce their associated
economic toll by research into, and implementation of, Federal motor vehicle safety standards. NHTSA's research areas include
biomechanics, crash avoidance and mitigation technologies, and vehicle safety issues related to fuel efficiency and alternative
fuels. NHTSA's Operation and Research programs fund a broad range of initiatives, including promulgation of Federal motor
vehicle safety standards for motor vehicles and safety related equipment; automotive fuel economy standards required by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007; international harmonization
of vehicle standards; and consumer information on motor vehicle safety, including the New Car Assessment Program. NHTSA conducts
compliance programs for motor vehicle safety and automotive fuel economy standards; investigations of safety-related motor
vehicle defects; enforcement of Federal odometer law; support of enforcement of State odometer law; and safety recalls when
warranted. Motor vehicle safety research and development supports NHTSA programs through the collection and analysis of crash
data to identify safety problems, development of alternative solutions, and assessments of costs, benefits, and effectiveness.
Research continues on standards and technologies to improve vehicle crashworthiness and crash avoidance, with emphasis on
reducing crashes through vehicle-to-vehicle communication system and active safety technologies.

The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and national
leadership for highway safety programs conducted by State and local governments, and various safety associations and organizations.
These programs emphasize alcohol and drug countermeasures, driver and passenger occupant protection, traffic enforcement and
justice services, emergency medical and trauma care systems, traffic records and licensing, State and community evaluation,
motorcycle rider safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety, pupil transportation, young and older driver safety, and development
of improved accident investigation procedures.
NHTSA will continue its efforts to further quantify the magnitude and nature of the emerging problem of distracted driving,
assess the impact of distraction on driver behavior and driving performance, and inform public attitudes and opinions about
distraction. In addition, NHTSA will continue to analyze the impact of product design on the potential for driver distraction,
and assess how to effectively manage driver workload to reduce distraction.
NHTSA will continue to operate the National Driver Register's Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to identify drivers
who have been suspended for or convicted of serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Finally, NHTSA will improve its vital data collection and analysis which form the basis of its research, rulemaking,
and performance measurement activities.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides grants to States for activities related to the promotion
of highway traffic safety. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act provided multi-year surface transportation
authorization legislation. For the 2018 Budget the agency is projected to receive $597,629,000 for these grant programs. Under
Section 402, the agency supports State highway safety programs, approved by the Secretary, which are designed to reduce traffic
accidents and the resulting deaths, injuries and property damage. The agency will continue to implement and promote the use
of performance measures and targets as a condition of approval in these programs and to ensure efficient and effective use
of funds. NHTSA also will use dedicated funds from the program to support high visibility enforcement campaigns in the States
that promote the use of seat belts and the reduction of drunk driving. Under Section 405, the agency will make grant awards
to States that focus on specific national priority traffic safety areas aimed at reducing highway deaths and injuries. The
agency will make grants to States that develop qualifying plans and complying laws in accordance with the statutory criteria.
The focus areas under the grant program include occupant protection, state traffic safety information system improvements,
impaired driving countermeasures, distracted driving, motorcyclist safety, state graduated driving licensing and non-motorized
safety programs.

For FY 2016, $50 million was appropriated under the Railroad Safety Grants heading to be equally distributed to Railroad Safety
Infrastructure Improvement Grants and Railroad Safety Technology Grants. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST)
Act of 2015 (P.L. 114–94) repealed the Railroad Safety Infrastructure Improvement Grants program and did not authorize new
funding for the Railroad Safety Technology Grants program. No new funds are requested for this account for FY 2018. FRA is
requesting funding under the FAST Act authorized Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program, which largely
encompasses the recipient and project eligibilities contained in the FY 2016 funded program.

Funding requested in the Railroad Research and Development Program is focused on improving railroad safety. It provides scientific
and engineering support for the Federal Railroad Administration's rail safety enforcement and rulemaking efforts. It also
identifies and develops emerging technologies for the rail industry to adopt voluntarily. The outcomes of the research and
development reduced accidents and incidents. In addition to improving safety, the program contributes significantly towards
activities to achieve and maintain a state of good repair and promote job creation and economic growth.
The program focuses on the following areas of research:
Track Program.—Reducing derailments due to track related causes.
Rolling Stock Program.—Reducing derailments due to equipment failures, to minimize the consequences of derailments, and to minimize hazardous material
releases.
Train Control and Communication.—Reducing train to train collisions and train collisions with objects on the line and at grade crossings.
Human Factors Program.—Reducing accidents caused by human error.
Railroad System Issues Program.—Prioritizing Research and Development projects on the basis of relevance to safety risk reduction and other DOT goals.

Funds are used to redevelop the Pennsylvania Station in New York City, which involves renovating the James A. Farley Post
Office building as Moynihan Station. Funding for this project was included in the Grants to the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation appropriation in 1995 through 1997, and the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program in 1998. In 2000, FRA received
an advance appropriation of $20 million for 2001, 2002, and 2003. In 2001, the Congress specified that the $20 million advance
appropriation for the Farley Building be used exclusively for fire and life safety initiatives. In FY 2016, $40 million was
transferred from the Federal Transit Administration's Hurricane Sandy funding into this account for risk reduction projects
at Moynihan Station. No new funds are requested for this account in 2018.

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was established in 1970 through the Rail Passenger Service Act. Amtrak
is operated and managed as a for-profit corporation. Amtrak is not an agency or instrument of the U.S. Government, although
since the railroad's creation FRA has provided it annual grants for operating, capital, and debt service costs.
Prior to 2006, FRA received annual appropriations in this account for grants to Amtrak. However, several one-time appropriations
or funding transfers since 2006 have been directed to this account, including $1.3 billion in funds under the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009, $112 million from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of FY 2013 (P.L. 113–2) for recovery
efforts from Super storm Sandy, and a $185 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Hudson Yards disaster
resiliency project in New York City. No new funds are requested for this account in fiscal year 2018.

From 2006 to 2016, the Federal Railroad Administration received appropriations to this account to make quarterly grants to
the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) for the operation of intercity passenger rail. The FAST Act authorized
two new appropriations accounts for Amtrak—Northeast Corridor grants and National Network grants—which first received funding
in Fiscal Year 2017. The Administration proposes to continue funding Amtrak under the new FAST Act account structure. No new
funds are requested for this account in 2018.
Capital and debt service grants to the national railroad passenger corporation
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act authorized two new appropriations accounts for the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (Amtrak)—Northeast Corridor Grants and National Network Grants. Funding requested in the National Network Grants
to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation account provide capital, operating, and debt service funding for Amtrak activities
related to the National Network, which includes Amtrak's State-Supported services, Long Distance services, and other Amtrak
costs not allocated to the Northeast Corridor. The fiscal year 2018 President's Budget proposes to terminate Federal funding
for Amtrak's Long Distance services. Amtrak began receiving its annual appropriations from Congress under this account structure
in fiscal year 2017.

This competitive grant program encourages state participation in passenger rail service. Under this program, a State or States
may apply for grants for up to 50 percent of the cost of capital investments necessary to support improved intercity passenger
rail service that either requires no operating subsidy or for which the State or States agree to provide any needed operating
subsidy. To qualify for funding, States must include intercity passenger rail service as an integral part of statewide transportation
planning as required under 23 U.S.C. 135. Additionally, the specific project must be on the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Plan at the time of application.
No new funds are requested for this account in fiscal year 2018.

Prior to 2001, this program provided funds to continue the upgrade of passenger rail service in the corridor between Washington,
District of Columbia, and Boston, Massachusetts. For 2016, $19 million was provided for grants to Amtrak for shared use infrastructure
on the Northeast Corridor identified in the Northeast Corridor Infrastructure and Operations Advisory Commission's 5 year
capital plan. No new funds are requested for this account for 2018. FRA is requesting funding under the FAST Act authorized
Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair program, which encompasses the intent of the FY 2016 program and expands
eligibility to states and local governments.

The Railroad Safety Technology Program is a competitive grant program for the deployment of train control technologies to
passenger and freight rail carriers, railroad suppliers, and State and local governments. Projects may include the deployment
of train control technologies, train control component technologies, processor-based technologies, electronically controlled
pneumatic brakes, rail integrity inspection systems, rail integrity warning systems, switch position indicators and monitors,
remote control power switch technologies, track integrity circuit technologies, and other new technologies that improve the
safety of railroad systems.
FRA has given priority to projects that make technologies interoperable between railroad systems; accelerate the deployment
of train control technology on high risk corridors, such as those that have high volumes of hazardous materials shipments,
or over which commuter or passenger trains operate; or benefit both passenger and freight safety and efficiency.
No new funds are requested for this account for fiscal year 2018. The FAST Act did not authorize new funding for the Railroad
Safety Technology Grants program. FRA is requesting funding under the FAST Act authorized Consolidated Rail Infrastructure
and Safety Improvements program, which largely encompasses the recipient and project eligibilities contained in the Railroad
Safety Technology Grants program.

The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century of 1998 established the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing
(RRIF) loan and loan guarantee program. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy
for Users, changed the program to allow FRA to issue direct loan and loan guarantees up to $35,000,000,000, and it required
that no less than $7,000,000,000 be reserved for projects primarily benefiting freight railroads other than Class I carriers.
The program was expanded by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and again by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act in 2015. The funding may be used: (1) to acquire, improve, or rehabilitate intermodal or rail equipment or facilities,
including track, components of track, bridges, yards, buildings, or shops; (2) to refinance debt; or (3) to develop and establish
new intermodal or railroad facilities, (4) to reimburse related planning and design expenses; (5) and to finance (by December
2019) certain economic development related to passenger rail stations. For 2016, $1.96 million was made available to assist
Class II and Class III railroads in covering RRIF loan application expenses. No new funds are requested for this account for
fiscal year 2018.

'
SEC. 150. None of the funds provided to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation may be used to fund any overtime costs in excess
of $35,000 for any individual employee: Provided, That the President of Amtrak may waive the cap set in the previous proviso for specific employees when the President of
Amtrak determines such a cap poses a risk to the safety and operational efficiency of the system: Provided further, That the President of Amtrak shall report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations each quarter of the calendar
year on waivers granted to employees and amounts paid above the cap for each month within such quarter and delineate the reasons
each waiver was granted: Provided further, That the President of Amtrak shall report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 1, 2018, a summary of all overtime payments incurred by the Corporation for 2017 and the three prior calendar years: Provided further, That such summary shall include the total number of employees that received waivers and the total overtime payments the
Corporation paid to those employees receiving waivers for each month for 2017 and for the three prior calendar years.SEC. 151. Notwithstanding section 1302 of title 40, United States Code, the Federal Railroad Administration may lease to others or
enter into contracts, for such consideration, and subject to such terms and conditions, as it determines to be in the best
interests of the government, for a term of up to 20 years for the continued operation and maintenance and capital reinvestment
of the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, Colorado.
Federal Transit Administration
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides grant funding to State and local governments, public and private transit
operators and other recipients to enhance public transportation across the United States. FTA programs fund the construction
of new public transit systems, purchase and maintain transit vehicles and equipment, subsidize limited public transit operations,
support regional transportation planning efforts, and improve technology and service methods critical to the delivery of public
transportation. In 2015, a new five year surface transportation authorization law was enacted—Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act or the FAST Act. The FAST Act provides steady and predictable funding for five years and a renewed focus on reinvesting
in and modernizing transit assets to help bring transit systems throughout the country into a state of good repair.
FTA's budget proposal builds on the successes of the previous authorization of MAP-21 and includes new features in the FAST
Act. The account structure is generally comparable to FTA's funding under MAP-21, except where Congress consolidated programs
in other accounts and moved them into the Transit Formula Grants account. The Administration proposes $11.2 billion for FTA
in 2018. This proposal includes $9.7 billion to support FTA's base formula programs that provide assistance to transit agencies
in both urban and rural areas, with an additional investment in programs improving the state of good repair of rail transit
and recapitalizing bus and bus facilities through a new discretionary grant program. The Administration proposes $1.2 billion
in new budget authority for Capital Investment Grants, to support new fixed guideway investments as well as projects aimed
at improving or restoring the core capacity of existing fixed guideway systems.
The table below presents actual funding enacted for 2016, 2017 annualized CR, and the requested 2018 funding. Additional

The 2018 Budget request includes $1.2 billion for the Capital Investment Grants account to increase the capacity of local
transit networks and to meet ridership demands in communities across the nation. These objectives of this program are accomplished
by supporting the construction of new fixed guideway systems or extensions to fixed guideways, corridor-based bus rapid transit
systems, and core capacity improvement projects. These projects include heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit,
ferries, and streetcar systems. FTA allocates resources to grantees through a multi-year, multi-step competitive process.
Prior to funding, each project is required to obtain an acceptable rating under a set of statutorily defined criteria that
examine project merit and local financial commitment.

The Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program helps transit agencies restore needed transportation services immediately
following disaster events. Both capital and operating costs are eligible for funding following an emergency; however, this
program does not replace the Federal Emergency Management Agency's capital assistance program. FTA administers the $10.9 billion
supplemental appropriation (adjusted to $10.2 billion after sequestration and the transfer of funds to the Office of the Inspector
General and the Federal Railroad Administration) provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113–2)
following Hurricane Sandy through this account. The Hurricane Sandy funds are only available for emergency relief, recovery
and resiliency projects in the areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. No funds are requested in this account for 2018.

to bolster the American economy. Transit capital assistance was provided through urbanized area formula grants, non-urbanized
area formula grants, and discretionary Tribal Transit grants. Funds were used for eligible capital projects, preventive maintenance,
and to purchase buses and rail rolling stock. Funds were also used for a new discretionary grant program, Transportation Investments
in Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction, to increase the use of environmentally sustainable operations in the public transportation
sector. This schedule shows the obligation and outlay of remaining amounts made available for administration and oversight
of these formula apportionments and discretionary grant awards and the associated capital and preventive maintenance projects
and vehicle procurements.

FTA's 2018 budget request builds upon the successes of the previous authorization, MAP-21, which provided two years of stable
funding for transit programs. The account structure is generally comparable to FTA's funding under MAP-21. The Transit Formula
Grants account is funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund.
Transit Formula Grants funds can be used for transit capital purposes including bus and rail car purchases, facility repair
and construction, as well as maintenance, and where eligible, planning and operating expenses. These funds help existing transit
systems provide safe and reliable transportation options, and promote economically vibrant communities. The 2018 Budget request
includes $9.733 billion for Transit Formula Grants. The 2018 formula grant program structure includes:
Urbanized Area Formula.—$4.727 billion. For formula grants to urbanized areas with populations of 50,000 or more. Funds may be used for any transit
capital purpose. Operating costs continue to be eligible expenses for all urban areas under 200,000 in population; and, in
certain circumstances, operating costs may be eligible expenses in urban areas with populations over 200,000. Additionally,
Urbanized Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities.
State of Good Repair Grants.—$2.594 billion. For a formula-based capital maintenance program to restore and replace aging transportation infrastructure
through reinvestment in existing fixed guideway systems and buses on high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Rural Area Formula.—$646 million. For formula grants to provide funds for capital, planning and operating assistance grants for transit service
implemented by States in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000. Funding may also be used to support intercity bus
service. Additionally, Rural Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities. Within this amount,
$30 million in formula funds and $5 million in discretionary grant funds will support the Public Transportation on Indian
Reservations program and $20 million will support the Appalachian Development Public Transportation Assistance Formula Program.
Growing States and High Density States.—$553 million. For funds that are divided between the Urban and Rural Area programs based on the legislative funding formula
for this program.
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities.—$274 million. Supports local governments and public and private transportation providers that serve special needs of these
specific transit-dependent populations beyond traditional public transportation services, including complementary paratransit
service.
Bus and Bus Facilities Grants.—$747 million. For formula funding and discretionary funding to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment,
and to construct bus-related facilities States may use these funds to supplement Urbanized Area and Rural Area formula grant
programs. Funding also supports low and zero emission bus and bus facilities.
Bus Testing Facility.—$3 million. Funding supports a facility where all new bus models purchased using FTA capital assistance will be tested for
compliance with performance standards for safety, structural integrity, reliability, performance (including braking performance)
maintainability, emissions, noise and fuel economy. FTA must develop a Pass/Fail rating system for buses. FTA grantees will
not be able use Federal funds to purchase buses that do not receive a "pass" rating.
Planning Programs.—$136 million. Funding supports cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive transportation infrastructure investment planning.
The program requires that all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and States, develop performance-driven, outcome-based
transportation plans.
Transit Oriented Development Pilot.—$10 million. This pilot program funds planning for projects that support transit-oriented development associated with new
fixed-guideway and core capacity improvement projects.
National Transit Institute.—$5 million. To fund projects that enable FTA to partner with higher education to develop and provide training and educational
programs to transit employees and others engaged in providing public transit services.
National Transit Data Base (NTD).—$4 million. For operation and maintenance of the NTD, a database of nationwide statistics on the transit industry, which
FTA is legally required to maintain under 49 U.S.C. 5335(a)(1)(2). NTD data serves as the basis for FTA formula grant apportionments
and is used to track the condition and performance of our Nation's transit infrastructure.
Public Transportation Innovation.—$28 million. This program provides assistance for projects and activities to advance innovative public transportation research,
demonstration, deployment and development and testing, evaluating and analyzing low or no emission vehicle components intended
for use in low or no emission vehicles.
Technical Assistance and Workforce Development.—$9 million. This program enables FTA to provide technical assistance to the public transportation industry and to develop
stands for transit serve provision, with an emphasis on improving access for all individuals and transportation equity. Through
this program, FTA is able to assist grantees to more effectively and efficiently provide public transportation and administer
federal funding in compliance with the law.
Pilot Program for Enhanced Mobility.—$3 million. This pilot program assists in financing innovative projects for the transportation disadvantaged that improve
the coordination of transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services.

Federal hazardous materials law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) established a national registration program for shippers and carriers
of hazardous materials. The law established the collection of a fee from each registrant with the fees being used for emergency
preparedness planning and training grants; development of training curriculum guidelines for emergency responders and technical
assistance to states, political subdivisions, and Native American tribes; publication and distribution of the Emergency Response Guidebook; and administrative costs for operating the program.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the preparation of spill response plans by operators that store, handle or transport
oil to minimize the environmental impact of oil spills and to improve public and private sector response. The Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) reviews response plans submitted by operators of onshore oil pipelines to
ensure the plans comply with PHMSA regulations. These plans also must be regularly updated by the operator and submitted for

The Maritime Security Program provides direct payments to U.S. flag ship operators engaged in foreign commerce to partially
offset the higher operating costs of U.S. registry. The purpose of the program is to establish and sustain a fleet of active
ships that are privately owned, commercially viable, and militarily useful to meet national defense and other emergency sealift
requirements. Participating operators are required to make their ships and commercial transportation resources available upon
request by the Secretary of Defense during times of war or national emergency. Commercial transportation resources include
ships, logistics management services, port terminal facilities, and U.S. citizen merchant mariners to crew both commercial
and government-owned merchant ships. The Maritime Administration requests $ 210 million for the Maritime Security program.

This fund is authorized for the receipt of sales proceeds from the disposition of obsolete government-owned merchant vessels.
The Maritime Administration is authorized to reactivate, maintain, operate, deactivate and dispose government-owned merchant
vessels comprising the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) and the Ready Reserve Force (RRF), a subset of the NDRF. Resources
for RRF vessel maintenance, preservation, activation and operation costs, as well as RRF infrastructure support costs and
additional Department of Defense/Navy-sponsored sealift activities and special projects, are provided by transfer from the

transactions are instead reflected in the RRF account. Direct appropriations for the disposal of obsolete government-owned
merchant vessels are provided to the Ship Disposal account.

The Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) program provides for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued
by U.S or foreign ship owners to finance or refinance the construction, reconstruction, or reconditioning of U.S. flag vessels
or eligible export vessels in U.S. shipyards; or for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued by U.S.
shipyard owners to finance the modernization of shipbuilding technology at shipyards located in the United States.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account also includes the subsidy costs associated with loan guarantee
commitments made in 1992 and subsequent years which are estimated on a present value basis. This program is proposed for elimination
in FY 2018 and no program or administrative funds are requested. However, the management of the existing loan portfolio which
has $1.5 billion in loan guarantees and approximately 32 guarantee contracts will be managed under the MARAD Operations &
Program account within the Operations & Training appropriation.
