Starting in 2006 the FHWA will solicit for Highways for LIFE Projects from State Departments of Transportation (DOT) candidate projects for incentive funding. The Highways for LIFE Pilot Program was enacted in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: a Legacy for User (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005. Section 1502 describes the pilot program. Specifically, the statute states:
(b) PROJECTS.Â
(1) APPLICATIONS.ÂTo be eligible to participate in the pilot program, a State shall submit to the Secretary an application that is in such form and contains such information as the Secretary requires. Each application shall contain a description of proposed projects to be carried by the State under the pilot program.
The Federal-aid highways projects built with Highways for LIFE incentive roads will incorporate technologies and innovations that result in improved safety, reduced construction congestion and improved quality. This new information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goals for Safety and Mobility
