NOTE: If both FHWA teams have interest, the lead team/primary contact for project coordination, review or approval, etc. is listed first. This does not add or remove any existing FHWA or Caltrans project responsibilities or requirements. It does not change the existing "Project Approval and Oversight Agreement" between FHWA and Caltrans dated December 2002.
