334 - Federal Aid.

§ 334. Federal  aid.   1. The department of taxation and finance shall
accept and receive any and all grants of money awarded to the state  and
its  political  subdivisions  under  the  federal  highway safety act of
nineteen hundred sixty-six, and acts amendatory or supplemental thereto.
All monies so received shall be deposited by the department of  taxation
and finance in a special fund or funds and shall be used exclusively for
establishing  and  administering highway safety programs pursuant to the
provisions of this article. Such money shall be paid from said  fund  or
funds  upon  audit  and  warrant  of  the  comptroller on vouchers of or
certification by the governor or his designee.
  2. At least forty per cent of the federal funds so received  shall  be
allocated   and   paid   to  those  political  subdivisions  which  have
established approved local highway safety programs. In  determining  the
allocation  of  such  amount  among  such  political  subdivisions,  the
governor or his designee shall consider the following factors:
  (a) the relative populations of such political subdivisions;
  (b) the total costs of the local highway safety programs;
  (c) the amount of state aid and other funds received by such political
subdivisions for highway safety purposes; and
  (d) the safety value of any special highway safety projects  conducted
by such political subdivisions.
  3. The federal funds remaining after the allocations and payments have
been  made pursuant to subdivision two of this section shall be utilized
for such highway safety purposes as the governor or his  designee  shall
deem appropriate.
