Pasco MPO approves advisory appointment, PL fund reallocation and FY26 community transportation coordinator
Summary
The MPO approved a new at-large Citizens Advisory Committee member (Dr. Terry Nelson), a deobligation of $800,000 in FY26 PL funds to be reallocated to FY27, and re‑designated Go Pasco as the FY26 community transportation coordinator; the board also approved the draft UPWP for public notice.
During routine action items the Pasco MPO approved several administrative measures and budget adjustments.
Appointment: The board approved the Citizens Advisory Committee's recommendation to appoint Dr. Terry Nelson as an at‑large member on a voice vote after Sean Hoffman introduced the nominee.
UPWP funds: Lori Shadiger (Pasco NPO) presented a deobligation recommendation to reduce an existing contract from $3.4 million to $2.6 million, freeing $800,000 in FY26 PL funds to be reallocated into the FY27 PL budget (effective October 2026) to support active‑transportation subarea and ADA planning work. The board moved and approved the reallocation by voice vote.
CTC designation: Miss Gorman explained that, under the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Program, the MPO must designate a community transportation coordinator every five years. The board voted to reappoint Go Pasco as the FY26 community transportation coordinator; staff noted the next renewal will fall on May 30, 2031.
UPWP draft: Staff presented the draft Unified Planning Work Program and budget for FY26–28 (approximately $2.63 million in federal planning funds) and recommended posting a 30‑day public notice and returning to the board for final adoption. The board approved posting the draft for public comment.
The actions were procedural approvals that set the MPO's near‑term programming and governance steps; no roll‑call tallies for individual member votes were recorded in the transcript.
