The pie charts show the revenue source for U.S. highways for last year and U.S. highway expenditure by type for last year. 

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relecant.
The first
pie
graph depicts how much the government’s funds from a variety of resources were spent on the motorways in the United States (the U.S.) for
last
year
and the second
pie
chart indicates the breakdown between different expense types for the U.S. roadways in
last
year
.
Overall
, the main source of funding came from Central Government and
Motor
Fuel
Taxes
and the primary use was for Capital Outlay.
According to
the data given from the first
pie

accounted for approximately a quarter of the whole resources, 26.5% and 26.0%, respectively.
This
is followed by Bonds with 14.9% and
Motor
Vehicle
Taxes
with 12.2%. The least number of financial sources was from tolls at only 4.3% and "other" sources, which is not specified, provided at 16.1%. In terms of the second
pie
graph, the majority of spending was on Capital Outlay which made up roughly half of the total expenditure on the motorways
last
year
. The figure for Maintenance and Traffic was the second largest expense at just below a quarter of the entire expense (23.8%). The rest was made up of Highway patrol and safety, Administration and Bond Retirement with a range of percentages between 8.8% and 6.0%. Fortunately, there was the least expenditure on Interest on Debt which was by far the smallest with 4.7%. It is noticeable that Central Government Funds and
Motor
Fuel
Taxes
last
year
contributed the most which were over half of the total to purchasing necessities for constructing better highways.
Although
, the rest of the budgets for the roadways were spent reasonably diversified, nearly three-quarters of funding was spent on only two areas, which probably highlights the importance of these areas.
