Transportation Enhancement Activities Apportionments, Rescissions, and Obligations
Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds are apportioned to the States by formula, based on amounts made available from the Surface Transportation Program (STP) under 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(3), which includes several adjustments, such as adjustments for metropolitan planning, open container and driving while intoxicated laws, highway safety, and safety belt and motorcycle helmet laws.

- FY 2006-2009: TE funds are 10% of the sum of STP funds (after adjustments) plus Equity Bonus funds apportioned through the STP, but not less than the amount apportioned in FY 2005.
