Where a financing mechanism was found to be unique or innovative, the last name of a contact person is provided so that interested parties could learn more about the financing concept. This matrix will hopefully generate ideas on financing concepts, for those states not already using them. It can also provide a useful means of comparison with similar states. In addition, the National Association of Counties has information about a lease-financing mechanism that can provide tax advantages to private investors while improving local governments' ability to fund projects and equipment. For more information about the Federal-aid funds programs mentioned in this document, see your local FHWA Division office.
