Transportation Funding
Funding for IDOT projects comes from multiple sources including:
- Rebuild Illinois
- Motor Fuel Tax (MFT)
- Portion of the Motor Vehicle Registration (MVR)
- Federal Funding
The majority of these funds are allocated toward system maintenance projects. Remaining funds can then be allocated toward expansion, capacity, or other types of projects. IDOT strives to use all available funding as efficiently as possible, keeping our vital transportation network running.
