Tolling Existing Interstates: Reconstruction Pilot Program Continued

The Act did not terminate the 3-state pilot program created under Section 1216 of TEA-21 (23 USC 129 (note)). The eligibility language for that program continues to require "an analysis demonstrating that the facility could not be maintained or improved to meet current or future needs from the State's apportionments and allocations made available by this Act (including amendments made by this Act) and from revenues for highways from any other source without toll revenues." TEA-21 authorized the Secretary to conduct the program for a term to be determined by the Secretary, but not less than ten years (i.e. until at least June 6, 2008).
