Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program

Statewide Transportation Enhancement Project Examples

The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) established twelve project categories eligible for funding as Transportation Enhancement Activities. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), working in conjunction with governmental officials and interested citizens and groups, have participated in developing non-traditional transportation activities under the Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program.
