NEW FEDERAL ACT AUTHORIZES MORE FUNDS FOR ODA CONTROL PROGRAMS....


The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), enacted in on August 10, 2005, included changes in the definition of the TE activities. SAFETEA-LU changed Activity "I" by inserting Inventory before Control and Removal of Outdoor Advertising to clarify existing eligibility. The SAFETEA-LU Conference Report provided an explanation for this amendment, which FHWA incorporated into the Transportation Enhancements Guidance Supplement - Inventory, Control, and Removal of Outdoor Advertising . FHWA made conforming amendments in two paragraphs on outdoor advertising under the General Real Estate Guidance for Enhancement Projects http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/te/guidance.htm
