How are County Road Projects funded?
County road projects are principally funded by Local Funds generated via road taxes. However, the use of Local County Funds can be diminished by supplemental funds from a variety of sources. These supplemental funds are received by applying and completing a Whatcom County project with other counties’ and cities’ projects. A few of the various funding sources are Federal Bridge Replacement Funds, Federal Road Project Funds, State Transportation Improvement Board Funds, State Rural Arterial Preservation Funds and Federal Hazard Elimination Funds.
