What are the highest levels at which road repair funds are distributed?

This should be a requirement.

In general we need to re-think roads. They can't be maintained in their
present form given projected shortfalls of energy and resources, nor are
they needed in those forms. More green space, more cobble or gravel, less
parking space, more areas off-limits to trucks (which do major damage to
local streets), etc...
