The '''Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991''' ('''ISTEA''', {{IPAc-en|aɪ|s|ˈ|t|i}}) is a [[United States federal law]] that posed a major change to [[transportation planning]] and policy, as the first U.S. federal legislation on the subject in the post-[[Interstate Highway System]] era.

The act was signed into law on December 18, 1991, by President [[George H. W. Bush]] and codified as {{USPL|102|240}} and {{USStat|105|1914}}. The bill was preceded by the [[Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act]] in 1987 and followed by the [[Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century]] (TEA-21) in 1998, the [[Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users]] (SAFETEA-LU) in 2005, the [[Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act]] (MAP-21) in 2012, the [[Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act]] (FAST) in 2015, and the [[Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act]] in 2021.

==Objective==
The act presented an overall intermodal approach to highway and transit funding with collaborative planning requirements, giving significant additional powers to [[metropolitan planning organization]]s (MPOs).

ISTEA also provided funds for the conversion of dormant railroad corridors into [[rail trail]]s; the first rail trail to be funded was the [[Cedar Lake Trail|Cedar Lake Regional Rail Trail]], in [[Minneapolis]], Minnesota.

==High priority corridors==
Section 1105 of the act also defines a number of '''High Priority Corridors''', to be part of the [[National Highway System (United States)|National Highway System]].{{Efn | Section 1105 did not amend the U.S. Code, nor is it editorially classified as part of the U.S. Code, or set out as a statutory note to a section of the U.S. Code.

==High-speed rail corridors==
[[File:ARRA High Speed Rail Grants Details.jpg|thumb|right|The high-speed corridors designated under ISTEA closely correspond with grants given under the [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act]]—seventeen years later.]]
The legislation also called for the designation of up to five [[high-speed rail]] corridors. The options were studied for several months, and announced in October 1992. The first four were announced by [[United States Secretary of Transportation]] [[Andrew Card]], while the last was announced by [[Federal Railroad Administration]] head [[Gil Carmichael]].<ref name="fra-chronology">{{cite web|url= http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/618 |title=Chronology of High-Speed Rail Corridors |publisher=Federal Railroad Administration, Department of Transportation |date=July 7, 2007 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091130111104/http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/618 |archive-date=November 30, 2009 |access-date=March 16, 2014}}</ref>

*October 15, 1992: The [[Chicago Hub Network|Midwest high-speed rail corridor]] with three links from [[Chicago]], Illinois to [[Detroit]], Michigan, [[St. Louis]], Missouri, and [[Milwaukee]], Wisconsin.
*October 16, 1992: The [[Florida High Speed Rail|Florida high-speed rail corridor]] linking [[Miami]] with [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] and [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]].
*October 19, 1992: The [[California High-Speed Rail|California high-speed rail corridor]] linking [[San Diego]] and [[Los Angeles]] with the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] and [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]] via the [[San Joaquin Valley]].
*October 20, 1992: The [[Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor|Southeast high-speed rail corridor]] connecting [[Charlotte, North Carolina]], [[Richmond, Virginia]], and [[Washington, D.C.]]
*October 20, 1992: The [[Pacific Northwest Corridor|Pacific Northwest high-speed rail corridor]] linking [[Eugene, Oregon|Eugene]] and [[Portland, Oregon]] with [[Seattle]], Washington and [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], Canada.

There was not significant funding attached to these announcements: $30 million had been allocated to several states by 1997 to improve [[grade crossings]],<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/515 |title=High Speed Ground Transportation for America - CFS Report To Congress |publisher=Federal Railroad Administration |date=September 1997 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090825213905/http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/515 |archive-date=August 25, 2009 |access-date=March 16, 2014}}</ref> but that was a very tiny amount in comparison to the billions required for a true high-speed network. Aside from a few places in California and the [[Chicago–Detroit Line]], most areas outside the [[Northeast Corridor]] continued to be limited to {{convert|79|mph|abbr=on}} until $8 billion from the [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009]] was distributed in January 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/02/high-speed-rail-grants/ |title=At Long Last, Clear Messages for High-Speed Rail |first=Zach |last=Rosenberg |date=February 1, 2010 |publisher=Wired Blogs |access-date=March 16, 2014}}</ref>
