cooperate with federal government.
The director may receive and expend any funds within the limits of legislative appropriations
made available by the Congress of the United States to be applied on the county road system,

and improvement of surface transportation systems in rural and small urban areas, including
projects and programs for the construction of public roads not on any federal-aid system,
correction of safety hazards and replacement of bridges, development of parking facilities to
serve buses and other means of public transportation of passengers, and for the purchase of
buses used in public transportation service. The director may carry out the intent and purpose of

for the operation of any public bus transportation system except by contract with a local
governmental entity or a private operator and may expend no revenue derived from gas tax or
motor vehicle licensing in the establishment or operation of such public bus transportation
system.
