The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (commonly known by its acronym, SAFETEA-LU) is the most recent federal transportation bill authorizing funding for the nation’s surface transportation programs. Signed into law in August 2005, SAFETEA-LU replaced the expired Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The law establishes funding levels and policies for the federal government’s highway, highway safety, transit, motor carrier, and some rail programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation. SAFETEA-LU expires September 30, 2009.
