4.Scenic or historic highway programs (including the provision of tourist and welcome center <br />facilities). <br />5.Landscaping and other scenic beautification. <br />6.Historic preservation. <br />7.Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, or facilities (including <br />historic railroad facilities and canals). <br />8.Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use thereof for <br />pedestrian or bicycle trails). <br />9.Inventory, control and removal of outdoor advertising. <br />10.Archaeological planning and research. <br />11.Environmental mitigation to address water pollution due to highway runoff or reduce vehicle- <br />caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity. <br />12.Establishment of transportation museums. <br />One or more of these activities must constitute at least 70% of the project cost. Unlisted ancillary <br />activities such as paving a parking lot, constructing buildings or providing restrooms must constitute no <br />more than 30% of the total project cost. Applicants whose project is part of a larger transportation <br />project must provide a construction cost summary demonstrating that at least 70% of the project is <br />eligible for Transportation Enhancement funds. <br />Many projects include a number of activities – some which are on this list and others that are not. Only <br />those project activities that are on the list may be counted as TE activities. For example, a rest area <br />might include a historic site purchased and developed as an interpretive site illustrating local history. <br />Only the historic site purchase and development would qualify as a TE activity. <br />Work that is made possible because a project presents an opportunity to improve and enhance the <br />environment and or aesthetics in the vicinity of a project may be eligible for enhancement funding. For <br />example, a construction project may present an opportunity to improve the condition of an adjacent <br />stream bed to improve water quality, construct a vital link for a community bikeway system and develop <br />a landscaped green area to enhance the downtown environment. <br />03/19/2009 <br /> <br />
