Transportation Reauthorizatio High Priority Projects Request Deadline
Friends - as you know, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recently announced its time frame and process for requesting Member High Priority Projects (HPP) in the SAFETEA-LU reauthorization legislation.
If the requesting entity received funds in SAFETEA-LU or previous appropriations, please account for that funding (spent/not spent) in a separate document. This is an internal office requirement.
Like the appropriations process, all requests must be posted on the official website. Please note that as we did for the appropriations requests, we will comply with this requirement and in addition, post the original request letter from the entity as a pdf along with the required information.
The committee has indicated the online form for offices to submit HPPs will be available from April 27 - May 8. That means we have a very short window of time to gather all the necessary information for project submission. Please indicate if you intend to submit a project for consideration by responding to this email by COB, Thursday, April 9. All forms and supporting documentation will be required by COB, Friday, April 24. Please submit the form in a Word document, and provide all required letters on letterhead in pdf form. If there is a reason why you can not meet these deadlines, please let me know immediately.
Please do not hesitate to call/email should you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance and I look forward to working with you throughout the reauthorization process.
