Earmark Repurposing
2025 Earmark Repurposing
Background
On July 23, 2025, FHWA issued guidance on the implementation of Earmark repurposing provisions contained in the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2025.
The Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2025 allows States to repurpose certain funds originally earmarked for specific projects more than 10 fiscal years prior to September 30, 2014, and is less than 10 percent obligated or final vouchered and closed.
The repurposed funds may be obligated on a new or existing project in the State within 25 miles of the earmark designation. The project must be an eligible project under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG). The Repurposing Provision is available to be applied in FY 2025.
This year, we received the guidance late and we only have couple weeks to complete the Earmark Repurposing.
