Anticipation notes come in several forms, but generally speaking, all are securities issued when moneys are anticipated from a specific source. In the case of transportation finance, the anticipation notes' revenue source is expected Federal-aid grants. Two types of anticipation notes exist in transportation finance:

sub-sections

GARVEEs are used to fund major highway capital projects with debt backed by future Federal-aid disbursements.
