| Transportation
Enhancement Program (TEP)
In 1991, Congress initiated
a number or reimbursable grant programs, including the TEP, designed to enhance
America's "Livable Communities" through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) and continued by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (TEA-21).
In West Virginia, eligible
applicants are governmental bodies. To be eligible, a project
must: (1) have a relationship to surface transportation; and (2)
must be one of twelve qualifying activities set by law. Each
year, in the Fall, the DOH solicits
"Intent-to-Apply"
forms from eligible applicants.
Only after evaluating these forms (due by November 15th each year)
are Application forms (due January 15th each year) distributed.
For more information on eligible projects, "match"
requirements and program deadlines, please read our
brochure, the above "Intent-to-Apply" form and the TEP
Manual.
This highly successful program has been continued and expanded
through the passage of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (TEA21) and the passage, in 2005, of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU).
TE funds are made available to the DOH, which administers the
TE program, by the
Federal Highways
Administration.
