Rehabilitation/Restoration of
Historic Transportation Structures/Facilities
Including
Railroad Facilities and Canals |
|
|
|
Objective:
This category is intended to preserve historic
transportation buildings, structures, or facilities
that are part of the surface transportation system.
Rehabilitation and restoration of these types of
historic properties can be accomplished by returning
the property to a condition that makes a
contemporary use possible, while preserving the
significant historic features of the property.
Furthermore, all proposed projects must either be
listed on, or eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places. Applicants must include
documentation of National Register
listing/eligibility as concurred in by the State
Historic Preservation Office (HPO) with their
application in order to be eligible for funding.
|
|
Project sponsors are encouraged to
coordinate these activities with the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other
modal administrations. This TE activity is not
intended to replace or duplicate existing Section
402 funding opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian
activities currently available through the State and
Community Traffic Safety Program. |
