UPDATE: Public meeting cancelled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with the Governor’s emergency declaration, we are cancelling the March 24 public meeting regarding which local transportation projects receive federal money. Public input will continue to be collected through Friday, March 27. You can use the interactive map<\/a>, call 515-334-0075 and leave a message, or email staff at info@dmampo.org. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interactive Map: Public asked to help decide which local transportation projects to fund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Residents of Greater Des Moines are invited to share their opinions on which local transportation projects they would like to see receive funding from the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this interactive map to review the projects and leave your comments.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nineteen projects are under consideration, ranging from roadways,\nbridges and transit buses to trails, safe routes to school and on-street\nfacilities. More than $34 million has been requested from the Surface\nTransportation Block Grant Program, as well as the Surface Transportation Block\nGrant Set-Aside Program, which combined have an approximately $13 million in\navailable funding. Both grant programs are funded by the U.S. Department of\nTransportation and administered by the MPO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public can find project descriptions and an interactive map<\/a> of the 19 projects online at www.dmampo.org\/public-participation\/<\/a> and leave comments on the site now through Friday, March 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MPO also scores the projects on how well they help meet the regional performance measures established in Mobilizing Tomorrow, the region\u2019s recently updated long-range transportation plan (dmampo.org\/mobilizing-tomorrow\/<\/a>). The scores and public comments will be presented to a funding subcommittee of local officials, who will make a funding recommendation. The recommendation will be presented to the MPO Policy Committee in April for review and again in May for final approval. Once awarded, the grants will be allocated in federal fiscal year 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information on the projects, please call or email\nMPO staff at 515-334-0075 or info@dmampo.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
