On August 10, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). SAFETEA-LU authorizes the Federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and transit for the 5-year period 2005-2009.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration offers a great deal of information on SAFETEA-LU, including the full text of the legislation, summary information, fact sheets, and funding tables.
