To amend the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users to make technical corrections, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users to make certain technical corrections to the surface transportation program, including defining "transportation systems management and operations," replacing "federal-aid system" with "federal-aid highways," and authorizing a state to expend unused funds for installation of protective devices at railway-highway crossings on highway safety improvement program projects. Authorizes 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. Increases funding for deployment of magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) projects 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%.) Makes changes to specified high priority project authorizations, including certain project authorization increases. Requires the deduction of a specified amount from state federal-aid highway apportionments for the future strategic highway research program. Increases: (1) the grant to establish a regional university transportation center for FY2009; and (2) funding for university transportation research through FY2009.
