States Leap Ahead with TAP Funding

Every quarter, we look at how state departments of transportation are handling their allocations for the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP).

For the quarter covering April to June 2018, states obligated nearly $131 million in TAP funding, with all states except for three making forward progress. (Obligation means that the state DOT has committed funding to a local TAP project and is a key step towards actually getting the project built or implemented.)
