Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21); Implementation of the Transportation and Community and System Preservation Pilot Program

Samenvatting

This document provides guidance on section 1221 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which established the Transportation and Community and System Preservation Pilot (TCSP) Program. The TCSP provides funding for grants and research to investigate and address the relationship between transportation and community and system preservation. The States, local governments, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), tribal governments, and other local and regional public agencies are eligible for discretionary grants to plan and implement transportation strategies which improve the efficiency of the transportation system, reduce environmental impacts of transportation, reduce the need for costly future public infrastructure investments, ensure efficient access to jobs, services and centers of trade, and examine development patterns and identify strategies to encourage private sector development patterns which achieve these goals. FY 2001 is the third year of the TCSP program. The FHWA seeks requests for FY 2001 TCSP grants, recommendations for FY 2001 TCSP research, and public comments from all interested parties regarding implementation of the TCSP program and
