Definitions and Declaration of Policy
The federal highway program provides financial assistance to states for building and maintaining highways, while states retain primary responsibility for the actual road work.
National Minimum Drinking Age
States that allow anyone under 21 to buy or publicly possess alcohol lose 10% of their federal highway funding. This effectively set the national minimum drinking age at 21.
Highway Safety Programs
Every state must maintain a federally approved highway safety program to reduce traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries, administered by a state highway safety agency under the Governor.
