TEA 21 FUNDS SUPPORT FEDERAL MANDATE TO PRESERVE HISTORIC RESOURCES

The passage of the national Historic Preservation Act and the Department of Transportation Act, both in 1966, made it mandatory for Federal agencies to consider historic resources in project planning. Each state department of transportation developed its own process to obtain information about historic properties, determine if and how their projects might impact, damage or destroy those properties and consider ways to avoid or minimize those impacts. Some states enlarged their staff and did most of this work internally. Most states supervised consultants to perform the needed work. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act and TEA 21 have provided new funding categories for historic preservation work, including work to rehabilitate transportation structures (bridges, railroad stations, tollhouses, etc.) and do archaeological research.
