14. Biennium Road Funding Comparison 14

15.  NDDOT’s Executive Budget recommendation assumes approximately $616.5 million in federal funding will be received.  Unfortunately, the current transportation funding program MAP-21 was extended to only May 31, 2015. This is a short-term extension of the program and as a result 2015 funding is still uncertain.  To date NDDOT has received a federal appropriation of approximately $143 million for 2015. Federal Funding Update 15

16. Federal Funding If no new revenues are found, federal highway obligations will fall by almost 100% in FY 2016. * Assumes Congress will fully fund MAP21 proposed expenditures in 2015. * 16

17. 17 HB 1176 & SB 2103 County Funding

18. 18 NDDOT will continue to work with the counties to ensure the funding that is made available in SB 2103 and HB 1176 is quickly put to use to address the local needs. NDDOT contact person: Bryon Fuchs, Local Government Division 701-328-2516 blfuchs@nd.gov Work continues
