Innovative Finance and Equal Access for Over the Road Buses

This information collection request requires state DOTS to annually report summary information regarding SIBs, GARVEEs, Toll Credits and OTRB in order for FHWA to maintain compliance with respective Federal statutes. The information collected is also used to develop reports to Congress on program activities and compliance. Examples of records include toll credits applied to Federal-aid projects within the fiscal year, compliance with OTRB equal access, and ending balances of SIBs and GARVEEs. State DOTS with balances in SIBs, GARVEEs, or toll credits must report the activity and any Federal-aid toll facility must report compliance with OTRB equal access. Depending on the state, the information on toll credits and OTRB may need to be obtained from other non-State DOT owned entities that toll, locally owned toll facilities, or private toll facilities that operate toll facilities on behalf of these entities. The SIB, GARVEE, and Toll Credit information is annually collected in a SharePoint tool created for states and summary information is publicly posted on the FHWA’s website. The FHWA Division offices collect OTRB compliance information within their states and submit to the Divisions as part of the required annual audit for toll facilities.
