Federal Funds Purchase Program (FFPP)
LB98 provided NDOT the authority to enter into agreements for purchase of federal aid transportation funds at a discount rate. The Federal Funds Purchase Program was established to provide a way for NDOT to purchase the federal funds used by LPA’s in exchange for state cash. State dollars allow local agencies to tailor projects to better meet their needs. State funds obtained must be expended for highway and bridge needs.
