It will be the policy of the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), upon Mississippi Transportation Commission (MTC) approval, to solicit for Urban Youth Corps Program project applications within the Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program established by the section 1108 (g) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21)( http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/tea21/h240suba.htm#1108 ) and subsequent acts. The MDOT implements the Urban Youth Corps Program under the provision of the National and Community Service Act of 1993, Section 106(d) which establishes the Urban Youth Corps Program with the U.S. Department of Transportation. TEA-21 requires the U.S. DOT to encourage the use of youth conservation or service corps in the implementation of TE activities where appropriate.
