Key FAST Programs

National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)

The FAST Act continues the National Highway Performance Program, which was established under MAP-21.

The program provides support for the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS) and for the construction of new facilities on the NHS.

It also ensures that investments of Federal-aid funds support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in asset management plans for the NHS.

Changes include:

  • Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) costs and V2I communication equipment are now eligible.
  • Bridge resurfacing/preservation/reconstruction on non-NHS Federal-aid highways is now eligible.
