Transportation Enhancement

Started in 1992, the Transportation Enhancement Program was created through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).  Transportation enhancement grants are provided to enhance and contribute to the transportation system as a whole with such projects as greenways, walking trails, and bike trails.  The purpose of enhancement funds is to make improvements to the infrastructure adjacent or near highways such as sidewalks, lighting and landscaping as well as improving or adding other modes of transportation, such as bike routes and pedestrian trails.  The funds have also provided new museums, welcome centers, and renovation of historic bridges and landmarks and the revitalization of historic districts.
