Local government highway receipts consist of receipts from local government, private funding, state government, and federal government. Current disbursements include capital outlay, maintenance, road and street services, general administration and engineering, and highway law enforcement and safety. Capital outlay includes right of-way, engineering, and construction. Maintenance here is defined as physical maintenance. Road and street services include snow and ice removal and other traffic service functions.
General administration includes all administrative costs.
Engineering refers to engineering services, as opposed to preliminary engineering included in capital outlay above. Highway law enforcement and safety includes police activities involving highway law enforcement and safety programs such as drunk driving reduction. Debt service on local obligations includes interest and redemption on bonds and notes earmarked for roads and streets. Transfer payments consist of transfer of funds to the state for road and street purposes and transfer of funds to state or local toll facilities for road and street purposes. Local highway debt is also tracked in terms of its current status at the par value.
