	Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240; ISTEA, pronounced Ice-Tea) 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.
		It was preceded by the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 and followed by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) and most recently in 2005, the Safety Accountability Fairness Efficiency Transportation Equity Act.
		ISTEA defined a number of High Priority Corridors, to be part of the National Highway System.

		A provision in the bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to calculate the budgetary savings relating to federal medical costs, including savings in the Medicare and Medicaid programs attributable to increased seat belt usage, and distribute that savings to the states that had caused those budgetary savings.
		CBO estimates that there would be no significant budgetary savings from this provision because the likelihood that the provisions of the bill would increase seat belt usage significantly is small and the impact of any change in seat belt usage on Medicare and Medicaid spending would likely be negligible and difficult to identify.
