The article reports that the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) outlays to various states for infrastructure projects had reached 3.6 billion dollars as of September 30, 2009. The DOT has approved projects worth nearly 30 billion dollars by September 2009, out of the 48 billion dollars allotted to the department under the two-year federal stimulus package. The majority of DOT spending was said to have come from the Federal Highway Administration, which funded more than 2 billion dollars worth of projects from February to September 2009.
