(From the FHWA Website): "Our Administration is a major agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). As a cabinet-level organization of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, the DOT is led by a presidential appointee-the Secretary of Transportation. The top-level official at FHWA is the Administrator, who reports directly to the Secretary of Transportation. FHWA is headquartered in Washington, DC, with field offices in every State, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

FHWA is charged with the broad responsibility of ensuring that America?s roads and highways continue to be the safest and most technologically up-to-date. Although State, local, and tribal governments own most of the Nation?s highways, we provide financial and technical support to them for constructing, improving, and preserving America?s highway system. Our annual budget of more than $30 billion is funded by fuel and motor vehicle excise taxes. The budget is primarily divided between two programs: Federal-aid funding to State and local governments; and Federal Lands Highways funding for national parks, national forests, Indian lands, and other land under Federal stewardship."
