Most federal highway transportation funds are distributed as grants to states as part of the federal aid highway program through a set of complex formulas that take into account a number of factors, including the estimated share of taxes highway users in each state contributes. The Highway Trust Fund is the principal source of funding for federal aid highway programs and is funded through motor fuel and other highway use taxes.
