Commission hears airport grants, ITS purchases, payroll/budget items and authorization to pursue damage claims

Summary

At its Aug. 13 meeting, the Transportation Commission reviewed airport-matching grant awards, information-systems purchases (including Rave Alert and traffic cameras), large accounts-payable and payroll dockets, and authorized the Office of the Attorney General to pursue two damage claims and accept a $125,000 negotiated settlement for bridge damage.

During the Aug. 13 Transportation Commission meeting, staff presented a series of multimodal, information-systems, administrative and legal items for the commission’s consideration.

Multimodal and aviation

Antonio (planning) asked the commission to authorize a supplemental agreement to extend a multimodal grant with the city of Aberdeen for construction of a secondary rail spur; the supplement would extend the grant completion date to March 31, 2027. Staff also requested approval of FY2026 airport federal matching grant awards for projects funded by the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program and by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; staff said the MDOT matching program would provide up to half of the required local share for each listed project.
