SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is
to solicit applications from interested
parties to participate in the Corridors of

process. The goal of the CFP is to
accelerate the development of multiState transportation Corridors of the
Future for one or more transportation
modes, by selecting up to 5 major
transportation corridors in need of
investment for the purpose of reducing
congestion. The Federal government has
an important role to play in facilitating
and accelerating multi-State
investments. States are encouraged to
work together and with private sector
partners to develop multi-State corridor
proposals to advance project
development and seek alternative
financial opportunities. CFP projects
may augment an existing transportation
corridor or may develop entirely new
facilities.
Applications will be submitted in a
two-step process. In the first step, the
Applicant will submit a Corridor
Proposal (Proposal) containing general
information about the proposed
Corridor project (Corridor). A Proposal
may be submitted by one State, multiple

States, or a private sector entity, and at
this stage does not require the
concurrence of all affected States. After
the Proposal has been reviewed, the
Applicant may be asked to proceed to
the second step in the process by
submitting an Application with more
detailed information about the project.
DATES: Proposals must be received on or
before October 23, 2006. The due date
for Applications will be April 2, 2007.

Background
The DOT is establishing a Corridors of
the Future selection process to
accelerate the development of multiState, and possibly multi-use,
transportation corridors to help reduce
congestion. The DOT is seeking
applications from either public or
private sector entities to identify and
advance multi-State transportation
corridor investments that can alleviate
current or forecasted congestion.
Through this selection process, the DOT
will select up to 5 Corridors in need of
investment.
Congestion is one of the single largest
threats to America’s economic
prosperity and way of life. Former
Secretary of Transportation Norman Y.
Mineta framed the problem earlier this
year:
If power blackouts drained billions of
dollars from the economy each year, it would
be considered a crisis of unacceptable
proportion. Yet many accept the fact that
Americans squander 3.7 billion hours and 2.3
billion gallons of fuel each year sitting in
traffic jams and waste $9.4 billion as a result
