Boston Region MPO: Draft FFY 2015 UPWP Budget:
Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) Projects (Revised May 15, 2014)
The proposed budget below reflects 3C dollars—made up of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) metropolitan planning (PL) funds, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 funds, and state matching funds—that CTPS will receive to conduct work on behalf of the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in federal fiscal year (FFY) 2015 (October 1, 2014 through September, 30, 2015). In FFY 2015, CTPS will receive $2,759,067 in FHWA PL funds, including a state match, and $1,282,095 in FTA Section 5303 funds, including a state match. This proposed budget also reflects funds that CTPS will or expects to receive to conduct work for various transportation agencies and other entities.
Amounts have been rounded to the nearest $10.
