The percentage of non-Federal funds required for almost all TEA-21 programs on a project-by-project basis to match a Federal contribution. The standard ratio is a 20 percent match from state and local sources, with a Federal share of 80 percent. Unless otherwise stipulated, this applies to the non-Interstate portions of any NHS-funded projects, and all projects funded under the STP and CMAQ programs, transit projects, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
