Transportation enhancement activities
are a means of more creatively and sensitively
integrating surface transportation facilities
into their surrounding communities. What distinguishes
transportation enhancement activities from other
worthwhile "quality-of-life" and environmental
activities is their potential to create a transportation
experience that is more than merely adequate.
At the same time they may protect the environment
and provide a more aesthetic, pleasant and improved
interface between the transportation system for
the communities and people adjacent to transportation
facilities.
Federal Transportation Enhancement
funds are to be used for transportation-related
capital improvement projects that enhance quality-of-life,
in or around transportation facilities. Projects
must be over and above required mitigation and
normal transportation projects, and the project
must be directly related to the transportation
system. The projects should have a quality-of-life
benefit while providing the greatest benefit to
the greatest number of people. Projects must be
within the twelve categories. For more information
see the Fact
Sheet.
