Safety, security key for TEA-21
State highway safety leaders are meeting this week with congressional staffers and NHTSA to discuss safety and security issues involved with the reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) next year. In addition to restructuring federal highway transit and motor carrier programs, TEA-21 authorized $2.3 billion for highway safety grant programs for fiscal years 1998-2003.
