Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicles: An Option to Finance Transportation Projects
4/7/2011
Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicles (GARVEE bonds) are a financing instrument that enables states to fund transportation projects based on anticipated receipt of future federal funds. Specifically, states (or local agencies) can issue GARVEE bonds for transportation projects using future federal highway funds to repay the principal, interest, and any other costs associated with the issuance of the bonds.  The use of GARVEE bonds was authorized by the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995. The act expanded the types of bond-related costs that could be financed by federal highway funds. While the total amount of federal funds states receive remains unchanged, they can now use a portion of those funds for debt-financing.  Prior to 1995, states could only use federal highway funds to repay the principal on bonds- a restriction which substantially limited a state’s ability to leverage future federal highway funds.
