TEA-21 - Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century Moving Americans into the 21st Century
	TEA-21 Home | DOT Home | Calendar of Events

On June 9, 1998, the President signed into law PL 105-178, The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) authorizing highway, highway safety, transit and other surface transportation programs for the next six years. TEA-21 builds on the initiatives established in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), which was the last major authorizing legislation for surface transportation. TEA-21 reaffirms the commitment to rebuilding America by providing a balanced investment in our highways, transit systems, and intermodal facilities, and provides almost $218 billion for surface transportation over 6 years. The bill protects America’s health and safety through increased safety initiatives, strengthens proven strategies to safeguard public health and the environment, and expands opportunity for all Americans through a new Access to Jobs program.

In a concerted effort to hear comments concerning the implementation of the new TEA-21 legislation, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is conducting a series of TEA-21 outreach sessions to consult with its partners and customers. As part of this series of outreach sessions, USDOT officials will convene a listening session in Minneapolis, MN. During this full-day session, panels of regional, state, and local officials, as well as other interested parties, will be asked to comment on a broad range of issues and concerns related to the implementation of TEA-21.
