Or maybe that's me...PennDot fixes INTERSTATE 83, 80, 78, (all the time as a matter of fact it seems).....

The Feds have no highway department so they hire the states to do the actual work and pay them with the Federal Highway Trust Fund which is funded by fuel taxes they collect.
Federal Motor Fuel Excise Tax is 18.4 cents on gasoline, 13.6 cents on LPG, 24.4 cents on diesel fuel, 18.4 cents on gasohol, 19.4 cents on aviation gas, and 4.4 cents on jet fuel.
