which invited State and local
governments and other public
authorities to apply to participate in the

purpose of today’s notice is to announce
a delay in the consideration of

Background
Section 1012(b) of the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) (Pub. L. 102–240; 105 Stat.
1914), as amended by section 1216(a) of
the Transportation Equity Act (TEA–21)
(Pub. L. 105–178; 112 Stat. 107), and
section 1604(a) of Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
(Pub. L. 109–59; 119 Stat. 1144),
authorizes the Secretary of
Transportation (the Secretary) to create
a Value Pricing Pilot (VPP) program.
Value pricing encompasses a variety of
strategies to manage congestion on
highways, including tolling of highway
facilities, as well as other strategies that
do not involve tolls. A maximum of $12
1 Speaking
before the National Retail Federation’s
annual conference May 16, 2006, in Washington
DC. U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta
unveiled a new plan to reduce congestion plaguing
America’s roads, rail and airports. The National
Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s
Transportation Network includes a number of
initiatives designed to reduce transportation
congestion. The transcript of these remarks is
available at the following URL: http://www.dot.gov/

million is authorized for each of the
fiscal years 2006 through 2009 to be
made available to carry out the VPP
program requirements. Of these
amounts, the statute requires the
Secretary to set-aside $3 million for
each of fiscal years 2006 through 2009
for value pricing pilot projects that do
not involve highway tolls.
The Federal share payable under the
program is 80 percent of the cost of the
project. The Secretary is required to
report to Congress every two years on
the effects of all value pricing pilot
programs. In the FHWA’s January 6,
2006, Federal Register notice, the
FHWA established deadlines for
expressions of interest and project
applications for VPP project funding
requests.
Temporary Suspension of Application
Deadlines
Today’s notice delays consideration of
applications for FY 2007 VPP program
funds and temporarily suspends the
deadlines to apply for such funds.
Under the January 6, 2006, notice formal
applications for FY 2007 funds were to
be due by October 1, 2006, and
Expressions of Interest were to be
required two months prior, by August 1,
2006, to be assured of the maximum
amount of constructive assistance from
the FHWA in preparing formal
applications.
The purpose of this delay is to allow
the FHWA to revise the VPP program
guidance to solicit certain types of
projects that further the goals of the
Secretary of Transportation’s new
National Strategy to Reduce Congestion
on America’s Transportation Network,
announced on May 16, 2006. This
national strategy contains a number of
elements that involve pricing, and thus
a reconsideration of the types of projects
that are being solicited for VPP program
participation is warranted to ensure
consistency with the national strategy.
Value Pricing Pilot program
participants, and potential participants,
may continue to submit Expressions of
Interest for VPP projects that do not
involve requests for VPP funding and
for which only tolling authority is
requested.
