FHWA

Acronym for Federal Highway Administration.  This federal agency carries out the Federal highway programs in partnership with the State and local agencies to meet the Nation’s transportation needs. FHWA adds value to the delivery of the Federal highway programs by administering and overseeing these programs to ensure that Federal funds are used efficiently. In administering these Federal funds, we apply flexible and innovative financing techniques permissible under the law, and use efficient administrative processes, such as electronic signatures, online processing, Web information dissemination, and videoconferencing.
