The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) reaffirms the federal government's commitment to America's mobility by providing record levels of investment to continue the rebuilding of U.S. highways, transit systems, and intermodal facilities. Strong emphasis is placed on the importance of research and innovative technology if maximum benefits are to be reaped from new infrastructure investments. Funding for transit research and technology is guaranteed under TEA-21. TEA-21 combines continuation and improvement of current programs with new initiatives to meet the challenges of improving safety, protecting and enhancing communities and the natural environment, creating opportunities for all Americans, and advancing America's economic growth and competitiveness through efficient and flexible transportation. This article describes the specific provisions of TEA-21 that affect research, development, and technology at the Federal Transit Administration.
