I am passing this information on to you from the Save America's Treasures Program and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The publication they mention is very well done.

Save America's Treasures would like to make you aware of the recent
publication of Building on the Past, Traveling to the Future: A
Preservationist's Guide to the Federal Transportation Enhancement Provision,
published last year by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the
Federal Highway Administration.
The publication identifies resources available through Transportation
Enhancement that help communities protect Main Street areas and heritage
corridors. This second edition was updated to reflect the passage of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which increased
federal funding for enhancement activities by 40% and also affirmed the
eligibility of preservation projects with functional, economic, visual, or
other links to the transportation system.

Profiling 27 projects in 19 states, this 80-page guide shows how the
enhancement provisions have been tapped to support community and regional
goals, from downtown revitalization to heritage area projects to rural
landscape preservation.
