• The U. S. Department of Transportation says states can reallocate $473.4 million that was designated for earlier projects but is still in the bank.
• The agency gave states until Oct. 1 to figure out where they'd like to spend the money and until the end of the year to obligate it for those projects.
• There is money unspent for work in every state except Wyoming. The DOT decision was ripped by by a California congressman because lawmakers were not told first.
