Transportation Equity Actfor the 21st Century
TEA-21
Prepared by
Iowa Department of Transportation
September 1998
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.
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.
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.
Highway Programs
The act retains the following core programs established in ISTEA:
Interstate Maintenance
National Highway System
Surface Transportation Program
Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacements
Highway Programs
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program
Highway Safety
Metropolitan Planning
Minimum Guarantee
Funding Summary - Highway(Iowa Apportionments)
• Interstate Maintenance 52% inc• National Highway System 57% inc• Surface Transportation Program 30% inc• Bridge Program 54% inc• CMAQ 50% inc
• Total of Core Programs 43% inc
Funding Summary
• Authorizes $218 billion over a six year period ( FY1998 - FY2003) with the following breakdown:
Highway $169.5 billion
Highway Safety 1.7 billion
Transit 42.0 billion

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
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
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
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
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
National Highway SystemDistribution 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%
Surface Transportation ProgramDistribution 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%
