The U.S. interstate highway system was primarily funded through the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which established the Highway Trust Fund. This fund was financed by federal gasoline taxes and other highway user fees. State governments also contributed matching funds, which helped to cover the costs of construction and maintenance. Overall, the funding model involved a combination of federal and state resources to develop the extensive network of highways.
