SUBJECT: 2017-2020 Alamo Area MPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
SUMMARY:
The Transportation and Capital Improvements (TCI) Department will provide a briefing on the 2017-2020 Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Projects have been selected for inclusion in the 2017-2020 Alamo Area MPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The revenue for this call for projects utilized federal Surface Transportation Program - Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) funds. Projects in this TIP are anticipated to be let for construction in years 2019-2022. The MPO Policy Board took action on the projects at their March 28 meeting and will take final action to update the TIP on April 25 meeting.
ISSUE:
The MPO issued a call for projects to this region’s transportation partner agencies in June, 2015. At the time, there was an estimated $100 million available. This estimate since has been increased to over $150 million. San Antonio submitted eight (8) projects that totaled $92 million for this project call.
The projects approved include $32 million in construction dollars for the City-submitted projects. Although two projects will not receive funding, they will be placed in Appendix D of the TIP so that they may proceed with environmental clearance. $24 million recommended for our partner agencies also will significantly benefit San Antonio citizens (this includes the Broadway Corridor submitted by TxDOT and Pedestrian Safety enhancement projects submitted by VIA).
