Transportation Enhancement (TE) Activities Program

Ten percent ofeach states SUiface Transportation Program (STP) must be set aside for TE activities Three of the 12 defmed TE categories are bicycle and pedestrian related

1 Provision offacilities for bicyclists and pedesttians 2 Provision ofsafety and educational activities for middotpedestrians 3 Bicyclists and preservation of abandoned railway corridors

These funds may be used for the construction of bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities or non construction projects such as training brochures and route maps related to safe bicycling and walking California is receiving $166 million in 2010 STIP TE for programming in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 funding years The FHW A and the National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse provide various reports on individual TE obligationsmiddot Since 1992 California has obligated more than $866 million ofTE funds Of that amount obligations for bicycle and pedestrian-related projects are as follows

Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation (EEM) Fnnd

In 1989 AB 471 requi(ed the Legislature to allocate$10 million atmually for ren years for projects that offset environmental impacts of public transporcation facilities This program became known as the EEM program The EEM program consists of four categories of projects One of 11ose categories Roadside Recreation can be used for the acquisition andor development of roadside recreational opp01tunities and include parks and greenvays roadside rests scenic overlooks trail~ and railheads parks and snow-parks In 1999 SB 117 eliminated the tim year sunset provision to allow the program to continue

Projects reque$ting EEM funds must be directly or indlre~-tly related to the envirorunental impact o( modifying existing or constructing new transportation facilities The California Natural Resources Agency reconuuends projects for approval by the California Transportation Commission lnFY 2010-2011 $tO million was available for the EEM program TheFY 2010shy20It EEM project list is included in this report

Federai~Aid Funds Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Actt A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)

Several categories of federal transportation funding may be expended for bicycle and pedestrian projects This section summarizes the federal funding sources available for nonmotorized transportation projects and estimates the fiscal impact of these sources

Transportation Enhancement (TE) Activities Program

Ten percent ofeach states SUiface Transportation Program (STP) must be set aside for TE activities Three of the 12 defmed TE categories are bicycle and pedestrian related

1 Provision offacilities for bicyclists and pedesttians 2 Provision ofsafety and educational activities for middotpedestrians 3 Bicyclists and preservation of abandoned railway corridors

These funds may be used for the construction of bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities or non construction projects such as training brochures and route maps related to safe bicycling and walking California is receiving $166 million in 2010 STIP TE for programming in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 funding years The FHW A and the National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse provide various reports on individual TE obligationsmiddot Since 1992 California has obligated more than $866 million ofTE funds Of that amount obligations for bicycle and pedestrian-related projects are as follows

bull Pedestrian and bicycle facilities- $38t millionbull bull Pedestrian and bicycle safety and education - $89 million bull Rails to Trails - $93 million

Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation (EEM) Fnnd

In 1989 AB 471 requi(ed the Legislature to allocate$10 million atmually for ren years for projects that offset environmental impacts of public transporcation facilities This program became known as the EEM program The EEM program consists of four categories of projects One of 11ose categories Roadside Recreation can be used for the acquisition andor development of roadside recreational opp01tunities and include parks and greenvays roadside rests scenic overlooks trail~ and railheads parks and snow-parks In 1999 SB 117 eliminated the tim year sunset provision to allow the program to continue

Projects reque$ting EEM funds must be directly or indlre~-tly related to the envirorunental impact o( modifying existing or constructing new transportation facilities The California Natural Resources Agency reconuuends projects for approval by the California Transportation Commission lnFY 2010-2011 $tO million was available for the EEM program TheFY 2010shy20It EEM project list is included in this report

Federai~Aid Funds Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Actt A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)

Several categories of federal transportation funding may be expended for bicycle and pedestrian projects This section summarizes the federal funding sources available for nonmotorized transportation projects and estimates the fiscal impact of these sources

Transportation Enhancement (TE) Activities Program

Ten percent ofeach states SUiface Transportation Program (STP) must be set aside for TE activities Three of the 12 defmed TE categories are bicycle and pedestrian related

1 Provision offacilities for bicyclists and pedesttians 2 Provision ofsafety and educational activities for middotpedestrians 3 Bicyclists and preservation of abandoned railway corridors

These funds may be used for the construction of bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities or non construction projects such as training brochures and route maps related to safe bicycling and walking California is receiving $166 million in 2010 STIP TE for programming in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 funding years The FHW A and the National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse provide various reports on individual TE obligationsmiddot Since 1992 California has obligated more than $866 million ofTE funds Of that amount obligations for bicycle and pedestrian-related projects are as follows

bull Pedestrian and bicycle facilities- $38t millionbull bull Pedestrian and bicycle safety and education - $89 million bull Rails to Trails - $93 million
