NVTA reports 27 applications totaling roughly $1.3 billion for next six‑year program; governing‑body resolutions due Oct. 31
Summary
Keith Jasper, NVTA staff overseeing the six‑year program update, told PCAC on Sept. 24 that 27 applications from eight applicants were submitted for the FY2026–2031 six‑year program, requesting approximately $1.3 billion.
Keith Jasper, NVTA staff overseeing the six‑year program update, told PCAC on Sept. 24 that the authority received 27 applications from eight applicants for the FY2026–2031 six‑year program. "At that point we received 27 applications from 8 applicants requesting a total of, give or take, $1,300,000,000," Jasper said. He said NVTA staff are confirming each application's conformance with TransAction and that the evaluation process — including model‑based and off‑model measures — is underway.
Jasper reported project types and relative dollar requests: 13 of the 27 applications were bicycle and pedestrian projects by count; roadway and bus/BRT projects together accounted for the largest shares of requested dollars (about 37% each of the total request); bike/ped accounted for roughly 19% of requested dollars. The total project cost reported by applicants was about $2.3 billion; staff do not yet have a finalized estimate of NVTA available revenues for the programming period and said the finance team will complete that estimate in spring 2026.
Key deadlines and next steps: the application submission deadline passed Aug. 1; the only material that may be submitted after that date is the governing‑body resolution supporting an application, and those resolutions are due Oct. 31. Jasper said any application lacking a governing‑body resolution by Oct. 31 will be deemed ineligible. Staff plan to continue evaluations through the winter, engage the public and committees in spring, and seek authority adoption of the six‑year program in July 2026.
Discussion vs. action: the Sept. 24 report was informational; no committee vote was taken on program selections. Jasper said NVTA will use the same 10 evaluation criteria used previously until TransAction is updated. He cautioned staff do not yet know the authority's available funding for the period and that the full financing picture will be provided by the finance committee in spring.
Why it matters: the number and mix of project types, the large total project costs and the approaching resolution deadline mean local jurisdictions must coordinate governing‑body actions and project sponsors should prepare for the evaluation and public engagement cycle that begins in spring 2026. NVTA staff emphasized transparency and that projects must conform to TransAction entries to be eligible for funding consideration.
