The proposed budget below reflects continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning (3C) funds, consisting of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) metropolitan planning (PL) funds and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 funds that the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) expects to receive for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2016. CTPS has received its estimated FFY 2016 FHWA PL allocation of $2,708,771, which includes a state match. Until final allocations have been determined, CTPS assumes that its FTA Section 5303 allocation will be level-funded compared to FFY 2015 and has estimated $1,301,271 in MPO Section 5303 funds, which includes a state match, for FFY 2016.
This proposed budget also reflects projects funded with State Planning and Research (SPR), FTA Section 5303, and other funds from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT); projects funded with Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) funds; and projects funded from other sources.
Amounts have been rounded to the nearest $10. Project status and financial data on this sheet are subject to change.
