Federal Frameworks
SAFETEA-LU: Solutions for Access
The 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) provides funding for highways, highway safety, and transit. To promote more efficient and effective federal surface transportation programs, SAFETEA-LU addresses transportation issues of national significance—including environmental stewardship— while giving state and local transportation decision- makers more flexibility to solve transportation problems in their communities.
Section 5307(d)(1)(K) of SAFETEA-LU stipulates that an urban area with a population of at least 200,000 must submit certification that it will expend not less than one percent of the amount it receives via the Act each fiscal year for transit enhancements, as defined in section 5302(a).
National Historic Preservation Act of 1976, Section 106
Federally-funded projects are required to undergo review for compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. This cultural resource evaluation process determines what impacts, if any, to properties eligible for the National Register of Historic Places are attributable to the scope of a transportation project. Working through state historic preservation offices, project mitigation strategies are arranged to protect, conserve, mitigate impacts on, or document threatened architectural and other cultural resources.
