Title III: General Provisions - Sets forth specified prohibitions, limitations, permissions, and mandates with respect to the use of appropriations under this Act. Prohibits the use of funds for the planning or implementation of any change in the current Federal status of the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (except for further development planning that does not alter such status) or the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. Requires the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to distribute, on a ratio-formulated basis, Federal-aid highway State obligation limitations for FY 1993 for Federal-aid highways and highway safety construction. Prohibits a State from obligating more than 25 percent of its allocation for such projects during the first three months of FY 1993. Sets forth additional specified obligation limits for States during FY 1993. Limits funds available for salaries and expenses to no more than 120 political and Presidential appointees in the Department of Transportation. Prohibits the assignment of such personnel on temporary detail outside of the Department. Prohibits the use of funds for the construction of the Central Automated Transit System (Downtown People Mover) in Detroit, Michigan. Requires the Secretary to obligate no more than $4,000,000 for each year that Interstate 95 is under reconstruction for operating expenses of the Tri-County Commuter Rail Project in Florida. Requires the Secretary to make compensation payments as provided under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to air carriers that provide essential air service to small community airports. Prohibits the use of funds to establish a vessel traffic safety fairway less than five miles wide between the Santa Barbara Traffic Separation Scheme and the San Francisco Traffic Separation Scheme. Authorizes airports to transfer to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instrument landing systems which were purchased through a Federal airport aid or development program and which conform to FAA performance specifications. Prohibits the use of funds by the FAA for a new National Weather Graphics System. Prohibits the use of funds to award multiyear contracts for production end items that include: (1) economic order quantity or long lead time material procurement in excess of $10,000,000 in any one year of the contract; or (2) a cancellation charge greater than $10,000,000 which at the time of obligation has not been appropriated to the limits of the Government's liability; or (3) a requirement that permits performance under the contract during the second and subsequent years of such contract without conditioning such performance upon the appropriation of funds. Requires the Secretary to withhold five percent of a State's Federal-aid highway apportionment after the second calendar year, and ten percent after the fourth calendar year, following the effective date of this requirement if it does not: (1) enforce laws requiring the revocation, suspension, or delay in the issuance of an individual's driver's license upon conviction of a drug offense; or (2) submit a certification of the Governor's and State legislature's opposition to such enforcement. Authorizes the Administrator of the FAA to continue the Collegiate Training Initiative program which prepares students through post-secondary educational institutions for the position of air traffic controller. Declares that Federal-aid highway funds to States shall not be available for making just compensation payments for the removal of signs, displays, or devices along Federal highways except to the extent that such State expends such funds for such payment. Prohibits funds under this Act from being available to add Passenger Facility Charges to the cost of travel benefits commonly known as "frequent flyer award certificates" or any other bonus program offered by any airline. Prohibits funds under this Act from being available for: (1) any passenger manifest program that only applies to U.S. flag carriers; (2) any criminal history records check program under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended; and (3) any change in the current Federal status of the FAA's flight service station at Red Bluff Airport, California, Tri-City Airport in Bristol, Tennessee, and Bert Mooney Airport in Butte, Montana. Amends the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 to treat certain access roads in Michigan as principal arterials under the Federal aid program for construction of ferry boats and terminals. Directs the Secretary to make funds available for a transportation resource center at Barry University, Miami Shores, Florida. Authorizes the use of funds under the urban high density program in Indiana for the reconstruction of an interchange with the Borman Expressway. Prohibits the use of funds under this Act to implement a certain alcohol and controlled substances testing program under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 until the FAA publishes a Final Rule reducing to ten percent annually the sampling rate for random drug testing of airline employees. Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to prohibit regulations on the testing of air carrier and airport employees for alcohol or controlled substance use from requiring the rate of random testing to exceed ten percent annually.
