The US DOT has successfully completed a series of TEA-21 national outreach sessions to consult with our partners and customers before the implementation of the majority of TEA-21. The national outreach sessions were scheduled from July through November and conducted by US DOT leadership. This program consisted of five Listening Sessions and seven One-DOT Conferences. In our efforts to keep you apprised of the information that was exchanged during these meeting, a summary of each of the twelve sessions is available below. In addition, information exchange meetings were conducted by program managers, and were generally focused and conducted on a smaller scale. Moreover, pertinent information pertaining to rulemaking and any other information related to the implementation of TEA-21 is posted on the Cross Reference page.
