To achieve this goal, SHAs identify highway transportation needs, prioritize these needs, and then address the needs through individual projects. The list of needs is large and the number of projects is correspondingly large. The set of projects that are in advanced stages of design and that have a target date for a construction bid is known as a “letting program.” The development and management of a letting program that can bring projects to fruition within the available funds, and that satisfy many different constituents, is a significant challenge for each SHA.
