Transportation Enhancement Applications (TEA)

Each year ADOT Transportation Enhancement and Scenic By-ways division provides approximately four million dollars for state projects, and eight million dollars for local projects for the enhancement and beatification of state highway, and local functional classified roadways.  Some enhancement projects are; bicycle and pedestrian pathways, historic preservation projects, downtown main street beautification, way-finding signage/monuments, landscaping, and other roadway enhancement activities.

WACOG provides technical assistance to our member entities and tribes in preparing the grant application, which is highly competitive throughout the state.  Once the applications are submitted to WACOG for review and ranking by the WACOG TAC, they are submitted through WACOG to ADOT. 

The application process starts in November-December each year through WACOG.

The Transportation Enhancement Review Committee (TERC) meets in October of each year to review, rank and submit the awarded projects to the State Transportation Board for consideration and approval.  The WACOG transportation planner sits on the TERC and presents all WACOG’s TE applications.
