INFORMATION: Programmatic Agreement Date: June 11, 1997 on Transportation EnhancementsMay 13th, 2005
Attached for your information, consideration, and use by State DOTs is a copy of the new programmatic agreement on transportation enhancements. This nationwide agreement with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) is expected to reduce the time spent by State DOTs in project review, consultation, and processing of transportation enhancement activities. It will accomplish this by encouraging local coordination and public participation, and reducing the need for project-by-project coordination with out-of-State groups. In addition, the agreement permits the SHPO and the State DOT to exercise judgment in weighing the benefits of the project against minor, but measurable, adverse changes to historic qualities. The net result, as one State DOT noted, will be to greatly assist in the implementation of the ISTEA, and to reduce the time to process projects by 30 to 60 days.
