Title
FY2025 Call for Projects Recommendation (20 Minutes)
Filmon Fishastion, MPO Staff
Narrative
The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) invited member agencies to submit applications for federal funding from the Regional Flexible Funding (RFF) in November 2023. Funding applications were due on December 8, 2023.
The RFF pool for FY25 consists of four funding sources that come directly to the DCHC MPO: Surface Transportation Block Grant Direct Attributable (BGDA), Transportation Alternatives Program Direct Attributable (TAPDA), Carbon Reduction Program Direct Attributable (CRPDA), and Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ). The call for projects that was conducted by MPO staff is consistent with federal requirements for CMAQ and TAPDA funds, and can be applied to all funding sources.
The public comment period for the list of projects to be funded ends on Thursday, April 18, 2024. The public comments received as of April 11, 2024 are included in the attachments. Any additional comments received will be presented at the Board meeting on April 23, 2024.
