The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board is participating in the Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) program. This program combines federal funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) into a single grant for metropolitan planning activities. These funds are allocated annually to MPOs. The MPO Board is currently in the planning and allocation phase for these funds. This process involves calculating annual funding allocations based on approved formulas. The work set in motion by this grant will support ongoing metropolitan planning activities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can benefit by engaging early. Understanding the grant's purpose and allocation process allows businesses to anticipate future planning needs and opportunities before specific projects are defined and bids are released.
