  15. Planning and Project Development Replaces the 16 metropolitan and 23 statewide planning factors with seven broad factors or strategies which will: • support economic vitality; • increase safety; • increase accessibility and mobility; • protect and enhance the environment;

  16. Planning and Project Development • enhance the connectivity and integration between modes; • promote efficient system management and operation; and • emphasize the preservation of the existing system.

  17. Planning and Project Development Metric Conversion • Removed a requirement that federal-aid highway projects use the metric system.

  18. Research and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) • $603 million for research, training and standards development. • $482 million for acceleration of integration and inter-operability, metro and rural. • $184 million for deployment of commercial vehicle ITS.

  19. Highway Safety Programs • Two programs were established which impose sanctions on states to encourage states to enact state laws dealing with: • open alcohol containers in vehicles and • penalties for repeat OWI offenders.

  20. Highway Safety Programs • Three incentive programs were established which provide additional funding for states to encourage: • increased seat belt usage in the state, • enactment of a law that provides for a .08 percent BAC drunk driving standard, and • improvement to highway safety data collection and accessibility.
