Other disbursements include funds for law enforcement, safety, bonds, and interest payments. Since they include interest payments, they can vary widely from year to year. For 2020, other disbursements make up 26% of total funding. Even though this is a new category for 2020, this analysis also calculated other disbursements for 2019, finding a similar 26.2% of total spending.
This is the first year we are measuring other disbursements. For this process, we take the disbursement per lanemile and divide it by the expected disbursement per lane-mile to get a ratio. The average 2020 per lane-mile disbursement is $21,908 (Table 10, Other Disbursements per State, 2020, Figure 5).
In 2020, Tennessee, South Carolina, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and North Carolina reported the lowest other expenditure disbursement ratios, after adjusting for urbanization. New York, Oregon, Kansas, Utah, and Washington reported the highest expenditure ratios. Some of the other disbursements per state-controlled lane-mile can vary widely from year to year reflecting funding actions and project schedules.
