Council reviews $434,467 Metropolitan Planning agreement for regional transit and studies
Summary
Council accepted a FY2026 Metropolitan Transportation Planning Services agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission covering approximately $435,000 in federal funds for the CAMPO unified planning work program, including potential transit and tri-level studies.
The council reviewed an agreement authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute a $434,467 contract with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission to fund Metropolitan Transportation Planning Services for the CAMPO (Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization) work program for FY2026. The amount represents the federal portion of the consolidated planning grant; the city and county split the 20% local match with the city covering 15% and the county 5%.
Staff said the funding will support the CAMPO work program in the coming fiscal year, including a potential transit study and hoped-for conclusion of the region’s tri-level study. The contract is part of the annual grant process and funds planning operations for the metropolitan planning organization.
Council did not record extended debate on the agreement during the meeting; staff offered to answer questions and noted the grant is cost-shared federal funding covering CAMPO operations.
