CRTPA adopts FY2026–2030 TIP, approves two funding amendments

The Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency on June 16 adopted the fiscal year 2026–2030 Transportation Improvement Program and approved two roll‑call amendments that add funding for a safety project on I‑10 and fund a second phase of the Capital Circle Northeast PD&E study. Suzanne, CRTPA staff, told the board the TIP is required under state and federal rules and adds a new fifth year each year, assigns funding to projects and phases, and must demonstrate financial feasibility. She said the package totals "622 plus million" in programmed funds and that resurfacing represents a large share of the programmed dollars, roughly $272,000,000. The TIP presentation noted several funding sources driving the totals: federal sources remain predominant in this year’s program, the legislature allocated roughly $100,000,000 for SunTrails, and prior initiatives such as "Moving Florida Forward" provided capital funding for a segment of Capital Circle. Suzanne recommended adoption of Resolution 2025‑06‑6a (the FY2026–2030 TIP) by roll call vote; the board voted unanimously to adopt it. Separately staff presented Resolution 2025‑06‑6b, an amendment to add funds for two projects: a safety project on the Ocklawaha River bridge on I‑10 and additional funding for phase 2 of the PD&E for Capital Circle Northeast (limits described from Park Avenue toward Centerville Road). Suzanne summarized the amendment and asked for roll call approval; commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the amendment. Board questions focused on the composition of federal versus state funding and on project‑level details. Suzanne and other staff said the comparatively high federal share in this year’s TIP reflects recent federal investments, including funds tied to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. On the Capital Circle Northeast PD&E, staff said the amendment funds the second PD&E phase after a feasibility study and noted the project limits. Actions recorded at the meeting reflect the two formal roll call approvals. The TIP adoption and the two‑project amendment were both adopted unanimously; roll call confirmations on each measure recorded affirmative votes from the listed commissioners. The TIP adoption was carried by roll call (resolution reference: 2025‑06‑6a); the amendment was carried by roll call (resolution reference: 2025‑06‑6b). The meeting transcript does not identify the mover and seconder for the TIP resolution by full name in the audio text captured, but the roll call votes and unanimous outcomes are recorded in the minutes. The board did not receive public comments on the TIP agenda items at the meeting. Staff said the TIP and project pages (interactive map and street‑view feature) are available online for public review. Board members asked about next steps: staff said the TIP will be used in coordination with FDOT as the department builds its next work program and that staff will continue to update project pages and outreach materials.
