6. Non-federal Share: It is the policy of the Department to fulfill the non-federal share or “soft match” with toll

Metropolitan Planning Organization Meeting · 2026-05-08 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Metropolitan Planning Organization's policy for using toll credits to cover the non-federal share of transportation projects. The MPO must identify and describe this 'soft match' in its upcoming Unified Work Program (UPWP) introduction and show the total amount of toll credits used in the UPWP Summary Budget Tables. This policy is planned and under review as part of the UPWP development process. The work involves administrative and planning tasks related to budget documentation and policy description. This early stage presents an opportunity for businesses involved in transportation planning, financial services, and administrative support to engage with the MPO. Understanding and contributing to the UPWP development process now, before final budgets and funding allocations are set, could provide a competitive advantage.
