MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) Meeting · 2026-05-06 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) program, which the Department has been participating in since State Fiscal Year 2022/23, 2023/24. Under this program, federal funds from FHWA Planning (PL) and FTA 5305(d) are provided to the Department for MPO planning activities. The Department combines these funds into a single grant administered by FHWA. The Department continues to calculate annual MPO funding allocations using established formulas. This program is currently under review as part of the ongoing UPWP cycle. While no specific construction project is detailed, the CPG program supports metropolitan planning activities which may involve future planning, design, and consulting services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as engineering, planning, and administrative support could find opportunities by engaging with the Department early to understand future planning needs and potential project scopes as they develop.
