Title
Advanced Notification of FY23 Call for Projects (10 minutes)
Anne Phillips, LPA Staff
Narrative
During the FY22 Call for Projects, the MPO Board directed LPA staff to review and update the Policy Framework for DCHC MPO Federal Funds in time for the FY23 Call for Projects. 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).
The MPO Board is expected to adopt an updated Federal Funding Policy at their November meeting. The updated policy creates one funding pool, Regional Flexible Funding (RFF), which consists of CMAQ, STBGDA, and TAP funding. CMAQ applications are due to NCDOT on February 28, 2022, and will therefore drive the overall schedule for the FY23 Call for Projects.
LPA staff is providing information about the FY23 Call for Projects, including funding availability and schedule, so that agencies may identify project submittals and begin preparing applications before the official FY23 Call for Projects is issued on November 15, 2021.
