The ADOT Transportation Enhancement (TE) program was developed to enhance surface transportation activities by developing projects that go above and beyond what transportation departments typically do.

 

These type of projects include scenic roads. Funding for scenic roads is available under Activity #4:

 

• Scenic or Historic Highway Programs (Including the Provision of Tourist and Welcome Center Facilities)
  In addition to the TE Program, separate grant funding is available for projects on state-designated scenic or historic roads under the ADOT Parkways, Historic and Scenic Roads program. Tourist and Welcome Centers are fundable if they are located on or within two miles of a state-designated Parkway, Scenic or Historic road. The facility must relate to the scenic, historic, cultural, archaeological, recreational, or natural qualities that contribute to the highway's designation as a scenic road.

 

The funding cycle is yearly; next year's funding cycle begins in the spring of 2010. For more information on the program, visit the TE Web site.
