SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Highways for LIFE Pilot 

Program. 

Background: Section 1502 of 

SAFETEA–LU establishes the 

‘‘Highways for LIFE’’ Pilot Program. The 

purpose of the Highways for LIFE pilot 

program is to advance longer-lasting 

highways using innovative technologies 

and practices to accomplish the fast 

construction of efficient and safe 

highways and bridges. ‘‘Highways for 

LIFE’’ is focused on accelerating the rate 

of adoption of proven technologies. The 

program will provide funding to States 

to accelerate technology adoption to 

construct, reconstruct, or rehabilitate 

Federal-aid highway projects that 

incorporate innovative technologies that 

will improve safety, reduce congestion 

due to construction and improve 

quality. Those States interested in 

participating in the ‘‘Highways for 

LIFE’’ program will submit an 

application for project funding. The 

information to be provided on the 

application includes a description of the 

project, the innovative technologies to 

be used and a description of how these 

technologies will improve safety, reduce 

construction congestion and improve 

quality. The collected information will 

be used by FHWA to evaluate and select 

projects for ‘‘Highways for LIFE’’

funding. 

Respondents: The fifty State 

Departments of Transportation, the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
