Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Meeting · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

The Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is developing its Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031. This program outlines planned transportation projects, including highway improvements, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian projects. Projects are identified in the MPO's 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan and are selected in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The TIP is financially constrained, meaning projects are planned with identified funding sources. The program is currently under review and will be finalized for inclusion in the state's Work Program. The TIP includes various project phases such as Project Development and Environment (PD&E), Preliminary Engineering (PE), Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition, and Construction (CST). Specific projects include widening roads like CR 510 and Aviation Boulevard, resurfacing sections of 45th Street and US 1, and intersection improvements at US 1 and Aviation Blvd. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the MPO and FDOT to understand upcoming needs and potentially secure future work before bids and permits are finalized. Businesses involved in site preparation, grading, paving, utility work, structural construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and landscaping may find opportunities as these projects move through their planned phases.
