Authorizing Legislation
Congress establishes the legal authority to commence and continue FTA programs through authorizing legislation covering several years. On August 10, 2005, President Bush signed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), reauthorizing surface transportation programs through fiscal year 2009. Each reauthorization amends the Federal Transit Laws codified in 49 USC Chapter 53.
Appropriating Legislation
Congress funds FTA’s operations and programs through the annual appropriations process.
