Reauthorization

Every minute of every day of every year, millions of Americans are traveling our highways and byways. Whether they are on the road for business or for pleasure, these travelers are reaping the benefits of federal surface transportation programs. We have built the greatest surface transportation system in the world, but our work is not finished.

This site is designed to be a source of information during the reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which expired on September 30, 2003.
