Funds made available by the Department to qualified jurisdictions may include such sums as may be available for obligation in the Department's discretion during Fiscal Year 2008, including funds designated by law to support the Department's Congestion Initiative, as proposed in the President's Fiscal Year 2008 Budget. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2008/transportation.html) The Department expects to award funding only for those proposals that integrate innovative transit strategies, new transportation technologies and direct highway pricing during congested periods. In return for their agreement to adopt such strategies, the Department will support qualified jurisdictions with financial resources identified in this Notice, regulatory flexibility, and dedicated expertise and personnel.
