Obligated Projects

As required by SAFETEA-LU, (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users), an Annual Listing of Obligated Projects, including investments in pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities, for which Federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year shall be published or otherwise made available by the cooperative effort of the State, transit operator, and metropolitan transportation improvement program (TIP).

This provision is intended to increase the transparency of government spending on transportation projects and strategies in metropolitan areas to State and local officials, and to the public at large.  Realizing this objective involves promoting accuracy and responsiveness in financial planning and adoption of a proactive approach to sharing information with the public in a meaningful way, at an appropriate time, and in a user-friendly format.
