Planning and Project Development
Replaces the 16 metropolitan and 23 statewideplanning factors with seven broad factors orstrategies which will:• support economic vitality;
• increase safety;
• increase accessibility and mobility;
• protect and enhance the environment;
Planning and Project Development
• enhance the connectivity and integration between modes;
• promote efficient system management and operation; and
• emphasize the preservation of the existing system.
Planning and Project Development
Metric Conversion
• Removed a requirement that federal-aid highway projects use the metric system.
Research and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)• $603 million for research, training and standards
development.
• $482 million for acceleration of integration and inter-operability, metro and rural.
• $184 million for deployment of commercial vehicle ITS.
Highway Safety Programs
• Two programs were established which impose sanctions on states to encourage states to enact state laws dealing with:- open alcohol containers in vehicles and
- penalties for repeat OWI offenders.
Highway Safety Programs
• Three incentive programs were established which provide additional funding for states to encourage:- increased seat belt usage in the state,
- enactment of a law that provides for a .08 percent BAC drunk driving standard, and
- improvement to highway safety data collection and accessibility.
