One of the MPO’s primary responsibilities is the allocation of certain federal transportation funds. There are two main types of transportation funding – funding for projects and funding for planning.
The MPO receives approximately $18 million in federal funds annually to allocate to regional transportation projects. The two primary funding programs are the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program and the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program Set-Aside, formally known as Transportation Alternatives Program.
