The Transportation Enhancements program involves
financial awards to communities, public agencies and non-profit
organizations to develop projects that meet one or more of the federal
enhancement criteria.

Enhancing Vermont's Communities |
Transportation Enhancements (TE) activities are federally funded,
community-based projects that expand travel choices and enhance the
transportation experience by improving the cultural, historic, aesthetic and
environmental aspects of our transportation infrastructure. The TE program
operates under the belief that transportation funding should focus on more
than just roads. TE projects can include creation of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, streetscape improvements, refurbishment of historic
transportation facilities, and other investments that enhance communities
and access. These projects are funded by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) via Congressional surface transportation legislation. For more
about the types of projects and/or activities that are eligible for TE
funding, visit the "About TE" page,
