Transportation Requests

Transportation Request for Congressman Paul D. Tonko

Many constituents are interested in federal "earmarks" and how they work. The responsible application of earmarked funds, federal resources designated for local projects of high public purpose, can have widespread benefits for our state, our communities, and our nation.

The federal appropriations process is lengthy and complicated, involving 12 separate bills. Once earmark requests are reviewed and funded in the legislative process, they are posted on this website and announced by my office to the news media.

For your information, below is a categorized list of the earmarks requested by my office and included in the FY 2010 House appropriations legislation.
