Survey <strong>of</strong> Current Business76(8): 133.1The federal budget is broken down into 20 functional categories, <strong>of</strong> which one is transportation (function 400). Function 400is not tied to any one department or agency, but instead aggregates transportation functions wherever in the federalgovernment they occur. Thus, the transportation function may include many activities, such as highway construction andsafety, airways and airports, maritime subsidies, U.S. Coast Guard operations, railroads, and mass transit. It also coversgrants-in-aid programs to support state and local activities. A good summary <strong>of</strong> the federal budget process can be found inStanley E. Collender, The Guide to the Federal Budget, Fiscal Year 1996 (Washington, DC: Urban Institute Press. 1995).2Public Law 101-508, 104 Stat. 1388 (November 5, 1990).3Funds in the Conrail Labor Protection Program were provided for benefits to Conrail employees deprived <strong>of</strong> employmentbecause <strong>of</strong> work force reductions and other actions. This program no longer exists since Conrail has been returned to theprivate sector. In 1988, the unobligated balances available from this program were transferred to the <strong>US</strong>CG, and in 1990they were returned to the U.S. Treasury.
