specific appropriation or any other funds applied without any specific appropriation for
or to be used by the Department of Transportation, and such use may be for any purpose
for which the commissioner is authorized to expend any money of the state, provided,
in case of any funds received from the federal government under the provisions of any
act of the Congress providing for federal aid to states for highways, or from towns or
railway companies under statutory provisions concerning the construction of bridges
on state highways, the amount of such unexpended balance so transferred shall be carried
to the credit of the specific appropriation from which such funds have been taken or
transferred. Sec. 13a-165. Federal aid for highways. This state having assented to the provisions of the act of the Congress approved July 11, 1916, entitled "An Act to Provide

other purposes", the Commissioner of Transportation is authorized (a) to set aside, from
time to time, from any sums appropriated for the improvement of state highways in the
state, a sufficient sum to make available to this state the amounts apportioned to it for
the construction and maintenance of highways under federal law and to enable the state
to carry out and conform with the provisions of federal law with respect thereto, (b) to
apply for and to obtain moneys, grants or other benefits from the United States or any
agency thereof in connection with roads, bridges or highways and (c) to approve all

requirements of and obtain such moneys, grants or benefits from the United States or
any agency thereof. Sec. 13a-165a. Acceptance of municipal grants for federal-aid highway projects. In the performance of his powers and duties under section 13a-165, the Commissioner of Transportation may accept on behalf of the state any grant offered or made
available to him by any municipality for the purpose of financing the state share of a
proposed federal-aid highway project. Sec. 13a-166. Federal grants recorded as receivables. In accordance with procedures promulgated by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management for the
purpose of supplementing the financing of the aggregate cost of construction of any
highway or bridge, including planning, design and preliminary engineering, or the purchase of land in connection therewith financed in part by federal grants under the provisions of federal law the State Comptroller is authorized to record as receivables that
portion of the federal grant apportionment to the state required to finance the federal
share of the proposed project upon authorization of the proposed project by the Federal
Highway Administration; and such amount, after deduction therefrom of such part of
said federal share as may have been provided for under any appropriation available
pursuant to part III of this chapter, is deemed to be appropriated for said purposes. No
grant from the federal government that is recorded as a receivable pursuant to this section

highways, sections of highways, bridges or structures incidental to highways and bridges
or the improvement thereof, including the plowing of snow, the sanding of icy pavements, the trimming and removal of trees, the installation, replacement and maintenance
of traffic signs, signals and markings, and for traffic control and vehicular safety programs, traffic and parking planning and administration, and other purposes and programs

as follows, provided the amount of each such distribution shall be reduced proportionately in the event that the total of all such distributions exceeds the amount appropriated
for the purposes of section 13a-175a: One thousand five hundred dollars per mile shall
be paid for each mile of improved roads for the first thirty-two miles thereof and the
remaining allocation shall be distributed pro rata to the towns on the basis of the ratio
of the population of the town to the population of the state. The figures promulgated by
the Department of Vital Statistics of the Connecticut Department of Public Health for
the immediately preceding year shall be used to determine a town's population. Any
town which would be allocated less under the provisions of this section than such town
was allocated for the fiscal year 1966-1967 under section 13a-169 prior to July 1, 1967,
shall be paid, from funds appropriated to the Commissioner of Transportation, in addition to the allocation provided herein, an amount equal to the difference between said
allocation and the amount allocated to such town for said fiscal year. The commissioner
and the selectmen of each town shall ascertain the number of miles of such improved
highways in such town. Cities and boroughs not consolidated with their towns, and
having responsibility for construction or maintenance of public roads, shall receive a
pro rata share of the sum allotted to the town, such share to be computed in the ratio of
the population within the city or borough to the total population in the town. If the
commissioner and selectmen of any town are unable to agree on the number of miles
of improved highways in such town, the commissioner shall determine the number of
miles of such improved highways in such town. Any town aggrieved by the action of
the commissioner may appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section
4-183. Sec. 13a-175c. Allocation of sums from the General Fund to insure that towns
receive no less than under prior law. There shall be allocated from the resources of
the General Fund, for distribution to the several towns, such sums as required to insure
that none of said towns shall be allocated for any fiscal year less than the amount allocated
to such towns for the fiscal year 1966-67 pursuant to section 13a-169 prior to July
1, 1967. Sec. 13a-175d. Funds for improvement of dirt and unimproved roads. There
shall be allocated from funds appropriated to the Commissioner of Transportation for
town-aid grants for roads the sum of one million dollars annually, to be distributed pro
rata to the towns in the state on the basis of the total mileage of unimproved highways in
each town, for the improvement or maintenance of dirt and unimproved roads, including
bridges on such roads, and if approved by the commissioner and the selectmen in such
town, any portion of said sum distributed to such town in excess of the amount used for
the purposes as provided in this section may be used for the purposes of the allocation
provided under section 13a-175a. The commissioner and the selectmen of each town
shall ascertain the number of miles of such unimproved highway in such town. If the
commissioner and the selectmen of any town are unable to agree on the number of miles
of unimproved highway in such town, the commissioner shall determine the number of
miles of unimproved highway in such town. Any town aggrieved by such determination
by the commissioner may appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section
4-183. Sec. 13a-175e. Distribution of funds. Agreements for expenditure of funds. (a)
Said sums shall be distributed to each town under the provisions of this part, semiannually, one-half during July and one-half during January of each year, provided the amount
of each such distribution shall be reduced proportionately in the event that the total
of all such distributions exceeds the amount appropriated for the purposes of section
13a-175d. Sec. 13a-175f. Purchase of materials by Transportation Department and
towns. Commissioner to test materials. The Commissioner of Transportation upon
reasonable request of the selectmen or other authority having charge of highways of
any town shall allow such town to join with the department in the purchase of materials
used for the laying out, construction, repair, reconstruction or maintenance of any highway or bridge. The commissioner shall conduct such tests as are necessary to insure the
quality of such materials. Sec. 13a-175g. State funds for mass transportation. Section 13a-175g is repealed. Sec. 13a-175h. Use of mass transportation funds. Any funds distributed prior to
March 20, 1973, under the provisions of section 13a-175g, may be used for the purposes
of section 13a-175a and the use of any funds so received prior to said date for providing
and operating essential public transportation services and related facilities is validated. Sec. 13a-175i. Additional appropriations. (a) In addition to the funds made available to the towns in section 13a-175a for the purposes set forth therein, the additional
sum of four million six hundred thousand dollars shall be distributed pro rata for such
purposes to the towns on the basis of the ratio of the population of the town to the
population of the state, notwithstanding the provisions of section 13a-175b. Sec. 13a-175j. Emergency aid for roads, bridges, and dams to repair damage
resulting from natural disaster. Any balance of appropriations in excess of that required to be distributed to the towns, under the formulas set forth in sections 13a-175a
to 13a-175d, inclusive, as of June 30, 1977, and annually thereafter, may be made available by the Governor, upon application of the selectman or other authority having charge
of highways in any town, to be used to defray, in whole or part, the cost of repairs,
improvements, alteration or replacement of roads, bridges and dams in such town which,
in the opinion of the Governor, with the advice of the Commissioner of Transportation,
in the case of roads or bridges, and the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, in
the case of dams, constitute a threat to public safety as a result of damage resulting from
a natural disaster. Any such balance shall not lapse but shall continue to be available
and shall not be transferred to the General Fund. Secs. 13a-175k to 13a-175o. Reserved for future use. Sec. 13a-175p. Definitions. The following terms, as used in sections 13a-175p

removal, replacement, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement of local bridges is
a matter of state-wide concern affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants
of the state and of persons traveling within the state. It is the policy of the state to establish
a timely and efficient method for municipalities to participate in this program and in
furtherance thereof, sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive, are intended to provide
authority for municipalities to approve local bridge projects, and, in connection therewith, to authorize project loan agreements, and the issuance of project loan obligations
and supplemental project obligations. For the purpose of ensuring and encouraging
participation by municipalities in the benefits of the local bridge program, the powers
of municipalities are expressly enlarged and expanded to include the power to do all
things necessary and incident to their participation in the local bridge program under
sections 13a-175p to 13a-175u, inclusive. Sec. 13a-175r. Local Bridge Revolving Fund. There is established and created
a fund to be known as the "Local Bridge Revolving Fund". The state shall deposit in
said fund (1) all proceeds of bonds issued by the state for the purpose of making project
loans and project grants to municipalities, including proceeds of any special tax obligation bonds which are issued for the purpose of funding the local bridge program through
project loans and grants, (2) any and all payments made by municipalities in respect of
project loans including loan interest, (3) all appropriations for the purpose of making
project loans and project grants, and (4) any additional moneys from any other source
available for deposit into said fund. Moneys deposited in said fund shall be held by the
Treasurer separate and apart from all other moneys, funds and accounts. Investment
earnings credited to the assets of said fund shall become part of the assets of said fund.
Any balance remaining in said fund at the end of any fiscal year shall be carried forward
in said fund for the fiscal year next succeeding. Amounts in the Local Bridge Revolving
Fund shall be expended only for the purpose of funding project loans and project grants
or for the purchase or redemption of special tax obligation bonds issued pursuant to
sections 13b-74 to 13b-77, inclusive. Sec. 13a-175s. Procedure for making project grants and loans under local
bridge program. (a) The commissioner shall maintain a list of eligible bridges and
shall establish a priority list of eligible bridge projects for each fiscal year. In establishing
such priority list, the commissioner shall consider the physical condition of each eligible
bridge. Sec. 13a-175t. Project loans. Municipal procedures. (a) A municipality may authorize (1) the execution and delivery of project loan agreements; (2) the issuance and
sale of project loan obligations to finance its obligations under a project loan agreement;
and (3) the issuance and sale of its supplemental project obligations, in accordance with
such statutory and other legal requirements as govern the issuance of obligations and
the making of contracts by the municipality. Obligations authorized under this section
shall be subject to the debt limitation provisions of section 7-374. Sec. 13a-175u. Regulations. The commissioner shall adopt such regulations in
accordance with the provisions of chapter 54 as may be necessary to give effect to and
carry out the purposes of sections 13a-175p to 13a-175t, inclusive. Sec. 13a-175v. Interlocal agreements. If an eligible bridge is owned or maintained by more than one municipality, the municipalities owning or maintaining such
eligible bridge may enter into an interlocal agreement concerning such eligible bridge.
Such interlocal agreement may provide, among other things, that one municipality shall
be responsible for undertaking and completing an eligible bridge project, maintaining
such eligible bridge project, applying for a project loan or a project grant, or both, for
such eligible bridge project and repaying a project loan for such eligible bridge project.
A municipality is authorized to enter into such an interlocal agreement by vote of its
legislative body and the provisions of sections 7-339a to 7-339l, inclusive, shall not be
applicable to such interlocal agreement. Any such interlocal agreement entered into
prior to May 27, 1987, is validated. Sec. 13a-175w. Eligibility of municipality which enters into interlocal
agreement for project loan or grant. In any case in which an eligible bridge is owned
or maintained by more than one municipality and such municipalities enter into or have
entered into an interlocal agreement authorized by section 13a-175v, the commissioner
may deem the municipality which has agreed pursuant to such interlocal agreement to
undertake, complete and maintain an eligible bridge project to be the only municipality
eligible for a project grant or a project loan, or both, concerning such eligible bridge
project and the commissioner may make a project loan or a project grant, or both, to
such municipality without regard to the ownership or other interests of any other municipality in such eligible bridge. Secs. 13a-175x to 13a-175z. Reserved for future use. Secs. 13a-175aa to 13a-175dd. Declaration of policy. Trust fund and separate

arrangement with said authority or holders of any of said bonds or notes or representatives thereof. Sec. 13a-177. Bonds to be general obligations. Said bonds issued pursuant to
sections 13a-176 to 13a-183, inclusive, shall be general obligations of the state and the
full faith and credit of the state of Connecticut are pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on said bonds as the same become due, and accordingly and as part
of the contract of the state with the holders of said bonds, appropriation of all amounts
necessary for punctual payment of such principal and interest is hereby made, and the

None of said bonds shall be authorized except upon a finding by the State Bond Commission that there has been filed with it a request for such authorization, which is signed
by or on behalf of the Commissioner of Transportation and states such terms and conditions as said commission, in its discretion, may require. Each series of said bonds shall
be authorized by a written determination which is signed by a majority of the members
of the State Bond Commission and filed in the office of the Secretary of the State and
sets forth the principal amount of the bonds of such series and a description of the
purpose for which such bonds are authorized. Such description may specify a particular
highway project or particular highway projects but shall be sufficient if made merely
by a reference to one of the numbered subdivisions of subsection (a) of section 13a-176. Sec. 13a-179. Place of payment of bonds. Maturity. Interest. All of said bonds
shall be payable at such place or places as may be determined by the Treasurer pursuant
to section 3-19 and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times not

subsection (a) of section 13a-176 shall be issued by the Treasurer and be delivered at
such times, in such amounts, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions
as, notwithstanding the provisions of section 3-20, may be provided in the determination

use or application of any such proceeds as hereinabove directed, such proceeds may be
invested by the Treasurer in bonds or obligations of, or guaranteed by, the state or the
United States or agencies or instrumentalities of the United States. Net earnings on
investments of proceeds, accrued interest and premiums on the issuance of said bonds
shall, after payment of expenses incurred by the Treasurer or State Bond Commission
in connection with their issuance, if any, be deposited to the credit of the General Fund.
All provisions of said section 3-20, not inconsistent with the provisions of sections 13a-
176 to 13a-183, inclusive, or the exercise of any right or power granted by said sections,
shall apply to all bonds authorized pursuant to said sections. Sec. 13a-182. Authorization of bonds deemed appropriation of principal. By
the filing, as provided in section 13a-178, of a determination authorizing a series of
bonds for a purpose described in said determination in accordance with said section
13a-178, the principal amount of said bonds shall be deemed to have been appropriated
for said purpose, and the Commissioner of Transportation may proceed in the name and
on behalf of the state, on an authorization or appropriation basis, subject to approval by
the Governor of allotment thereof, to award contracts and incur obligations with respect
to such purpose in amounts not in the aggregate exceeding the principal amount of such
bonds, notwithstanding that such contracts and obligations may at any particular date
exceed the amount of the proceeds of such bonds theretofore received by the state. Sec. 13a-183. Certificate of use of proceeds. For the purposes of this section,
"state moneys" means the proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized pursuant to sections
13a-176 to 13a-183, inclusive, or of temporary notes issued in anticipation of the money
to be derived from the sale of such bonds. With each request filed as provided in section
13a-178 for an authorization of bonds pursuant to sections 13a-176 to 13a-183, inclusive,
for any purpose described in subdivision (1) or subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of
section 13a-176, the Commissioner of Transportation shall also file a certificate briefly
identifying the highway projects for costs of which the proceeds of the sale of such
bonds are to be used and expended and stating the amount of such proceeds to be so
used and expended for costs of each such project, together with a statement whether,
in the opinion of the commissioner, all or any part of federal moneys then available or
thereafter to be made available for costs in connection with any such project should be
added to the state moneys available or becoming available hereunder for such project.
If the certificate so filed with respect to any such project includes a statement that some
amount of such federal moneys should be added to such state moneys, then, if and to
the extent directed by the State Bond Commission at the time of authorization of such
bonds, said amount of such federal moneys then available or thereafter to be made
available for costs in connection with such project may be added to any state moneys
available or becoming available hereunder for such project and be used for such project,
and any other federal moneys then available or thereafter to be made available for costs
in connection with such project upon receipt shall, in conformity with applicable federal
law, be used by the Treasurer to meet the principal and interest of outstanding bonds
issued pursuant to sections 13a-176 to 13a-183, inclusive, or to meet the principal of
temporary notes issued in anticipation of the money to be derived from the sale of bonds
theretofore authorized pursuant to said sections for the purpose of financing such costs,
either by purchase or redemption and cancellation of such bonds or notes or by payment
thereof at maturity. Whenever any of the federal moneys so received with respect to
such highway projects are used to meet principal of such temporary notes or whenever
principal of any of such temporary notes is retired by application of revenue receipts of
the state, the amount of bonds theretofore authorized in anticipation of which such
temporary notes were issued, and the aggregate amount of bonds which may be authorized pursuant to section 13a-176, for the purpose stated in said section 13a-176 which
included said highway project, shall each be reduced by the amount of the principal
so met or retired. Pending use of the federal moneys so received to meet principal as
hereinabove directed, the amount thereof may be invested by the Treasurer in bonds or
obligations of, or guaranteed by, the state or the United States or agencies or instrumentalities of the United States, and shall be deemed to be part of the debt retirement funds
of the state, and net earnings on such investments shall be used in the same manner as
the said moneys so invested. Sec. 13a-184. Notes. Bonds. (a) The State Bond Commission shall have power,
in accordance with the provisions of sections 13a-184 to 13a-197, inclusive, from time
to time, to authorize the issuance of temporary notes as hereinafter provided, and from
time to time to authorize the issuance of bonds or certificates of indebtedness of the
state, hereinafter referred to as securities, in one or more series and in principal amounts

the sum of twenty-five million dollars for said biennium is hereby made, and from the
revenues anticipated to be available to the commissioner in the Highway Fund for the
biennium ending June 30, 1967, appropriation of the sum of twenty-five million five
hundred thousand dollars for said biennium is hereby made, and said aggregate sum of
fifty million five hundred thousand dollars is appropriated for highway construction
and other purposes as provided in said sections and in subsections (d) and (e) of section
13b-26. Sec. 13a-185. Projects included. (a) The proceeds of the sale of said securities
referred to in subsection (a) of section 13a-184, the funds available by virtue of the
appropriations made in said subsection (a), any federal moneys added in accordance
with section 13a-190 and any other moneys added in accordance with subdivision (53)
of section 13a-198b, shall be used to pay or provide for the cost of planning, designing,
laying out, constructing, reconstructing, relocating or improving the several highway
facilities, enumerated in subsections (a) and (b) of this section and in sections 13a-198b
and 13a-198l, each of which is or is made hereby a part of the state highway system and
is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "project", including in each case but not limited
to costs and expenses of right-of-way or other property acquisitions therefor or desirable
in connection therewith, expenses in connection therewith for engineering, fiscal, architectural and legal work or services, and all administrative and other expenses properly
attributable thereto and for any of the projects or purposes of sections 1 to 6, inclusive,
of public act 95-286*. Sec. 13a-186. Authorization for issuance. None of said securities shall be authorized except upon a finding by the State Bond Commission that there has been filed with
it a request for such authorization, which is signed by or on behalf of the Commissioner of
Transportation and states such terms and conditions as said commission, in its discretion,
may require. Each series of said securities shall be authorized by a written determination
which is signed by a majority of the members of the State Bond Commission and filed
in the office of the Secretary of the State and sets forth the principal amount of the
securities of such series and a description of the purpose or several purposes for which
such securities are authorized. Such description may specify a part or parts of a particular
project or particular projects enumerated in section 13a-185 but shall be sufficient if
made merely by a reference to any of the numbered subdivisions of either subsection
of said section 13a-185.

by the population of such town shall be the numerator of the fraction. The resulting
products for all the towns shall be added together, and the sum shall be the denominator
of the fraction. Any city or borough not consolidated with the town in which it is located
and any town containing such a city or borough shall share the allocation to such town
on the basis of the following ratio: The total taxes levied in the previous fiscal year by
such town, city or borough shall be the numerator of the fraction. The total taxes levied

and the sum shall be the denominator of the fraction. Any such city or borough may,
by vote of its legislative body, direct the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to reallocate all or a portion of the share of such city or borough to the town in
which it is located. As used in this subsection, "population" means the number of people
according to the most recent federal decennial census, except in intervening years between such censuses when it shall mean the number according to the most recent estimate
of the Department of Public Health, and "density" means the population of a municipality divided by the number of square miles in the municipality.
(d) The Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management shall, not later than
February 5, 1986, and February 5, 1987, send a notice to each municipality indicating
(1) the amount allocated to the municipality under subdivision (1) of subsection (b) and
subsection (c) of this section on February first of the same year and (2) the total amount
of any allocations to the municipality which remain available to the municipality after
the payment of any infrastructure project grants to the municipality under subsection
(g) of this section. Not later than February 5, 1988, the secretary shall send a notice
to each municipality updating the information provided under subdivision (2) of this
subsection on February 5, 1987.
(e) Between February 15, 1986, and October 1, 1988, inclusive, each municipality
may apply to the secretary for infrastructure project grants. Applications for infrastructure project grants shall be submitted on forms to be provided by the secretary and shall
consist of: (1) A brief description of the infrastructure project or projects for which the
grant is requested, (2) a certified copy of the action taken by the legislative body of the
municipality appropriating the necessary funds for the project or other certified evidence
of municipality authorization of such funds, (3) a certificate that the municipality is
appropriating, from the municipality's own funds, a percentage of the total cost of the
project which is equal to or more than the municipality's matching percentage and (4) a
report on the status of any prior infrastructure project grant received by such municipality
under subsection (g) of this section and any income earned on such grant in accordance
with subsection (h) of this section, certifying that the grant proceeds were expended
entirely for project costs or for payment of principal and interest on bonds or notes issued
to finance the costs of such project.
(f) The secretary shall approve or disapprove each completed application for an
infrastructure project grant within thirty days of receipt of an application and shall approve the grant if the secretary finds that: (1) The project for which grant assistance is
requested is an infrastructure project; (2) the project was authorized by the municipality
on or after January 1, 1985; (3) a percentage of the cost of the project which is equal to
or more than the municipality's matching percentage shall be paid from the municipality's own funds and not from federal or state loan or grant proceeds; (4) the grant proceeds
shall be used to pay costs of the project and not to satisfy a local matching requirement
for any other state assistance program; and (5) payment of the grant would not cause
the municipality's infrastructure trust account, established pursuant to this section, to
be overdrawn.
(g) Upon approval of an application for an infrastructure project grant, the secretary
shall certify to the Comptroller the amount due to the municipality. Not later than fifteen
days after such certification, the Comptroller shall draw his order on the Treasurer and,
not later than fifteen days thereafter, the Treasurer shall pay the grant to the municipality.
(h) Each municipality receiving an infrastructure project grant under this section
shall use the grant for the payment of the costs of the infrastructure project for which
application was made or for the payment of principal and interest on bonds or notes
issued to finance the cost of such project. The municipality may invest the grant for a
period of not more than one hundred eighty days after receiving the grant, pending
payment of project costs or payment of principal and interest on such bonds or notes.
