(a) The
				Oklahoma Department of Transportation will accept proposals for Transportation
				Enhancement Projects, to fund, in part, transportation enhancement activities
				having a direct relationship to the Intermodal Transportation System. The State
				of Oklahoma anticipates receiving apportionments of twelve million dollars
				annually in federal funds for the enhancement program. The enhancement funding
				is directed to non-traditional transportation activities not customarily within
				the scope of environmental mitigation. The Oklahoma Transportation Commission
				will utilize a portion of the transportation enhancement funds for enhancement
				projects deemed to represent the interest of the State of Oklahoma. Funds
				available under the enhancement program may be used for up to eighty percent
				(80%) of the eligible project costs. The remaining twenty percent (20%) of the
				project funds must be provided as a cash contribution by the project sponsor.
				"In-Kind" services may not be utilized for all or any portion of the project
				sponsor's twenty percent (20%) contribution.
(b) Applications for funds may be for
				reimbursement participation in the project, or for a project to be awarded by
				the Transportation Commission.

				acceptability of the proposal.
(c)
				If the proposed project and sponsor are found to be generally acceptable, the
				proposal shall be distributed to the committee consisting of State agencies and

				opposed to a component of a larger project.
(3) Projects which benefit a relatively large
				percentage of community, region, or State population.
(4) Projects which enhance the State's travel
				and tourism efforts.
(5) Projects
				which contribute to a wide geographical dispersion of the Transportation
				Enhancement Funds within the State.

				  program. Certification Acceptance is a voluntary program which enables
				  cities/counties to exert greater control over all aspects of locally sponsored
				  federal-aid transportation projects processed by the Local Government Division
				  of the Department of Transportation. The local agency will have the opportunity
				  to be responsible for the oversight of the design of the project, production of
				  the environmental clearance documents, right-of-way and utility clearances,
				  project advertisement, letting and award, and construction supervision. A
				  project agreement between the local agency and the Department of Transportation
				  will set forth the duties and responsibilities of each party involved. By
				  having greater control of the project phases, the local agency can better
				  schedule projects and utilize limited resources.

				  the system shall be Rural or Urban, based on whether the highway is inside or
				  outside an approved Urban Area Boundary.
(1) The Rural Functional Classification shall
				consist of one of the following:
(A) Rural
				Principal Arterial. Rural Principal Arterials include the Interstate System and
				other major cross state routes. They provide an interconnecting network to
				major urban areas.
