1. Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century TEA-21 Prepared by Iowa Department of Transportation September 1998

2. Background The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, also known as ISTEA, was a major departure from the way state, local and federal transportation officials administered transportation programs.

3. Background TEA-21 is built on the successes of the past six years and did not undo the solid foundation established by ISTEA. TEA-21 incorporates many program changes and improvements which will provide additional flexibility and authority over our transportation systems.

4. Funding Summary Funding levels are designed to spend all revenues received into the Highway Trust Fund. “Guaranteed funding” will be provided based on the level of Highway Trust Fund revenues.

5. Highway Programs The act retains the following core programs established in ISTEA:  Interstate Maintenance  National Highway System  Surface Transportation Program  Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacements

6. Highway Programs  Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program  Highway Safety  Metropolitan Planning  Minimum Guarantee

15. Average Annual Federal Highway funds to Iowa(millions -- 100% obligation) $220$204 MPO’S and RPA’sIowa DOT $60$160$144

19. Current Enhancement Program 10% of total STP set aside for Transportation Enhancements Current Program Process -50% programmed by MPO/RPA process -MPO/RPA targets provided -50% programmed by Statewide process -statewide application process -three advisory committees

20. Current Enhancement Program Changes in TEA-21 -Must “relate to transportation” -Eligibility expanded to include wildlife mortality -welcome centers for scenic/historic highways -safety/education programs for bicycle/pedestrian -transportation museums

21. Proposed Enhancement Program Statewide program process used for all required set aside -- 10% No enhancement targets for MPOs/RPAs -can stillprogram enhancement projects but would use regular STP funds offset MPO/RPA enhancement targets with increased STP target -equivalent amount (i.e., 10% increase in STP targets) Benefits -decrease administrative costs -focus on broader statewide strategy for enhancements

22. CMAQ/ICAAP Current Program -Iowa is an important state -CMAQ funds can be used for any program -ICAAP supported by equivalent of CMAQ funding -fulfills spirit of CMAQ -focus on congestion reduction and air quality -statewide application program

23. CMAQ/ICAAP Proposed Changes -None to the ICAAP process -The expected increase in CMAQ funding can support -ICAAP at current funding level -new program focused on ITS improvement

24. National Highway System Distribution Formula 25% - lane miles of principle arterials 35% - vehicle miles on principle arterials 30% - diesel fuel on all highways 10% - lane miles of principle arterials divided by state’s share of pop. Iowa’s share is 1.61%

25. Surface Transportation Program Distribution Formula 25% - lanes miles on federal-aid highways 40% - vehicle miles traveled on federal-aid highways 35% - contributions to the Highway Trust Fund Iowa’s share is 1.44%
