Back in February, the federal government passed a law that provided billions of dollars for transportation projects to help stimulate the economy. Now with the first 120 days underway, Smart Growth America, a nationwide coalition, published a report exposing how the country is spending its stimulus money.

So, where is all the money going? Well, a good chunk of the money is going towards highway repairs (62.9%) and building new roads (31%), while only a small portion appears to be going towards areas like public transit (6%) and non-motorized projects (2.8%).
