Abstract: For the TCSP Program, the information collection supports Section 1117 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) which requires that the Secretary of Transportation make grants based on applications from States, tribal, regional, and local governments to carry out eligible projects to integrate transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices. For the TPEA Program, the information collection supports the FHWA Mission, Vital Few and Strategic Goals by recognizing outstanding initiatives across the country to develop, plan and implement innovative transportation planning practices. The information about the projects selected may be shared as a noteworthy practice for others. The categories for submission include transportation asset management, education and training, freight planning, homeland and personal security, linking planning and operations, modeling and technology applications, planning leadership, public involvement and outreach, safety planning, transportation and land use integration, transportation planning environment and tribal transportation planning. Transportation stakeholders desire information and noteworthy practices from other regions, states, authorities and agencies that can provide techniques and efficient solutions that will result in an improved transportation system.
