Description
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015, Pub. L. No. 114-94, § 6020, authorized the Secretary of Transportation to establish the Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives (STSFA) Program. The purpose of the STSFA Program is to provide grants to States to demonstrate user-based alternative revenue mechanisms that utilize a user-fee structure to maintain the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. The FAST Act authorized $15 million in FY 2016, and $20 million annually from FY 2017 through 2020 from the Highway Research and Development Program for grants for the STSFA demonstration projects. The grants are only available to States; however, groups of States can form partnerships for regional or national proposals.[3] Section 6020 of the FAST Act authorizes DOT to enter into agreements with State authorities to demonstrate user-based alternative revenue mechanisms. UPDATE:Awards can be greater than $4,500,000. FHWA reserves the right to make an award for less that the requested amount in an application package.
