Summary

SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2007 - Amends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users to make certain technical corrections to the surface transportation program, including earmarking of public lands highway funds for forest highways and forest roads, defining "transportation systems management and operations," replacing "federal-aid system" with "federal-aid highways" in apportionment of highway safety improvement program funds, and authorizing a state to expend unused funds for installation of protective devices at railway-highway crossings on highway safety improvement program projects. Increases funding for deployment of magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) projects through FY2009. Repeals the authority of a state to locate idling reduction facilities on Interstate System rights-of-way. Makes changes to specified high priority project authorizations, including certain project authorization increases and decreases. Revises the item descriptions to specified transportation improvement projects. Requires the deduction of a specified amount from state federal-aid highway apportionments for the future strategic highway research program. Increases: (1) funding for university transportation research through FY2009; and (2) the grant to establish a regional university transportation center for FY2009. Amends the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) to authorize up to 15% of surface transportation program funds to be obligated on roads functionally classified as minor collectors in areas of less than 5,000 population through FY2009. Authorizes through FY2009 the award of formula grants for public transportation projects in urbanized areas with a population of at least 200,000. Makes certain apportionments for fixed guideway modernization in urbanized areas through FY2009. Sets the minimum apportionment of federal funds to a state for highway safety programs at not less than three-quarters of 1%. (Current law requires not less than one-half of 1%.) Provides for the installation of a photovoltaic system at the Department of Energy (DOE) headquarters building in Washington, D.C. Amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 to increase federal funding for a wastewater treatment project in DeSoto County, Mississippi.
