APD—Federal Appalachian Development Highway Program—Kentucky receives about $55 million annually dedicated to the completion of APD roads in eastern Kentucky.

The two remaining APD corridors to be reconstructed are US 460 south of Pikeville, and US 119 over Pine Mountain in Letcher and Harlan Counties.

BP—Whenever state road bond moneys are being used to support project activities, the "BP" designation is assigned. The last time this was done was with the 1990 Highway Bond Program. 100% state funds.

BRO—Federal Bridge Replacement "On System"—Approximately $49 million/year. These funds can only be used to replace or repair bridges on the federal and state road systems, and come with very stringent eligibility requirements based on bridge structural condition, load-bearing capacity, etc. 80/20 match ratio.

The same eligibility criteria apply, we just have the opportunity to use the funds either way. Typically, Kentucky uses these funds to address bridge needs on our Rural Secondary System. 80/20 match ratio.

HES—Federal Hazard Elimination and Safety Program"—Approximately $10 million/year. These funds must be spent for safety projects that demonstrate a positive (> 1.00) benefit/cost ratio. There is usually a project cost upper limit of $800,000 to ensure that we spread the program dollars to as many improvements as possible. 80/20 match ratio.

HPP—Federal High Priority Program—Varying annual amounts consistent with federal law. These are dollars earmarked by Congress in the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21^st Century (TEA-21) for Congressional "high priorities". 80/20 match ratio.

SP—State Projects—Approximately $145 million/year dedicated to a 100% state-funded construction program. Funds may be used for design, right-of-way, utilities, or construction of SP projects. Funding in this category is subject to Road Fund cash availability, and projects in this category are therefore subject to substantial delays should cash not be available to support planned expenditures. This category was over-programmed by $1 billion in the 2000 Six-Year Highway Plan, and the 2000, 2002, and 2003 General Assemblies instructed the Transportation Cabinet to "manage on the margin" using available Road Fund cash to support program expenditures. Significant delays are expected to occur in this program beginning in late Calendar Year 2003.

STP—Federal Surface Transportation Program—Approximately $131 million/year. These funds can be used to support projects of virtually any type, as long as federal-aid eligibility criteria are met. Kentucky traditionally uses these funds to support projects on major collector and arterial routes, recognizing the "farm to market" needs we have across the state. 80/20 match ratio.

TE—Federal Transportation Enhancement Program—Approximately $13 million/year, generally matched with local or non-state funds at an 80/20 ratio. The TE Program has strict eligibility requirements and generally exists to support non-traditional transportation-related projects.
