ACTION: Notice; request for applications. SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit applications from interested parties to participate in the Corridors of the Future Program (CFP) selection 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 PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit Proposals to Mr. James D.

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 E:\FR\FM\05SEN1.SGM 05SEN1
