USA Today recently published an article about billions of federal dollars that have, over the years, been earmarked for specific highway projects, but have remained unspent due to a variety of reasons (including $758.7 million in New England). Much of this money is counted against a state's share of federal gas tax revenue, and, if the money goes unspent, the state loses a proportionate share of federal revenue.
