Preferred term

construction management  

Definition

  • Planning, design, construction, and operation of surface transportation infrastructure projects—primarily highways and transit facilities—have traditionally been funded and managed by public-sector transportation agencies. Since the establishment of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) in 1956, funding for highways and, later, other surface transportation facilities has derived chiefly from automotive fuel taxes gathered at the state level, remitted to the federal government, and distributed to the states in proportion to their respective contributions.
