Eagle Pass MPO opens call for projects and outlines timeline, scoring and public outreach
Summary
The MPO began a two‑round call for projects tied to its first long‑range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The process includes a simple public submission (round 1) and a more detailed agency submittal (round 2); project sponsors must meet federal functional classification and readiness criteria.
Sid Martinez, senior transportation planner with Stanley Consultants (the MPO’s general planning consultant), briefed the Eagle Pass MPO on Oct. 8 about the call for projects that will feed the MPO’s first long‑range Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
Martinez said the MTP is a 25‑year, financially constrained plan that the MPO must approve locally by December 2026. The MPO’s call for projects is structured in two rounds: an initial, simple public form to capture needs and project concepts (open now through November), and a second, detailed submittal round for sponsoring agencies (cities, county, TxDOT, tribe) requiring cost estimates, timelines and documentation. Project sponsor submittals are due Feb. 6, 2026, Martinez said.
