United States General Accounting Office Report to Congressional Requesters:Transportation Enhancements: Status of the $2.4 Billion Authorized for Nonmotorized Transportation

摘要

Funds provided under ISTEA's surfce transportation program may generally be usedby states and localities for any road on the federal-aid highway network. The transportation enhancement set-aside is an exception. Over ISTEA's 6-year life, the set-aside authorized $2.4 billion for 10 categories of eligible projects, including bikeways, pedestrian walkways, and historic preservation projects. The authors analyzed national data and supplemented this analysis by interviewing transportation official in 16 states, representatives of five national organizations with an interest in the transportation enhancement set-aside, and four local sponsors of enhancement projects.
