Historic Preservation
Objective
Projects in this category should enhance the transportation experience by improving the ability of the public to appreciate the significance of a historic property through a contemporary transportation-related function. All historic preservation projects must clearly demonstrate a contemporary relationship to the surface transportation system. Furthermore, all proposed projects must either be listed on, or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Historic facilities and sites can be "restored" by returning the property to a condition that makes a contemporary use possible, while preserving the significant historic features of the property.
