This grant is for States to strengthen efforts against motor fuel tax evasion. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) offers funding through its Intergovernmental Enforcement Efforts program, established by the SAFETEA-LU Act of 2005. Annually, $2 million is awarded to support projects that foster collaboration among federal and state public agencies. Grants, previously ranging from $41,000 to $230,000, target innovative State proposals. The program aims to enhance highway use tax enforcement and combat excise tax evasion by building effective inter-agency partnerships to identify and counter fuel tax fraud across jurisdictions.
