Title
Federal Funding Policy Update (15 minutes)
Anne Phillips, LPA Staff
Narrative
The MPO Board released the draft Federal Funding Policy for public comment at their October meeting. The public comment period was advertised on the MPO's website and social media channels, and in the Herald Sun. So far, one comment has been received from a member of the Technical Committee. The comment and a response from LPA staff is attached to the agenda.
During the FY22 Call for Projects, the MPO Board directed LPA staff to review and update the Policy Framework for DCHC MPO Federal Funds, last updated in 2015. The federal funding policy guides the distribution of federal funds that flow through the MPO such as Surface Transportation Block Grant Direct Attributable (STBGDA), Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ).
