Funding

By law under Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), a financial plan must be developed for major projects estimated to cost more than $500 million. As a part of the planning process, SHA will work with the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) to analyze different finance options and resulting traffic operations. In addition to traditional finance methods using state and federal transportation funding sources, options will also be examined to understand the financial capacity and traffic operations if tolls were implemented along the proposed bypass corridor.
