Regional planning agency seeks TIP projects; $2M per year in STBG/CMAQ funds available
Summary
An Allen County MPO representative briefed council on the 2028–2031 Transportation Improvement Program solicitation, including eligibility, shovel-ready criteria, a 20% local match requirement, and roughly $2,000,000 available each year for projects in the cycle.
Colleen Berry of the Allen County Regional Planning Commission urged local jurisdictions to submit shovel‑ready transportation projects for the 2028–2031 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). She explained the TIP is a four-year regional plan produced with ODOT, the county RTA, municipalities, and townships and noted the region expects to allocate roughly $2,000,000 each year from State Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding this cycle.
Berry said projects should have completed sufficient planning and engineering to begin construction when funding is secured and noted a standard 20% local match. She offered handouts to council and invited questions; council thanked her and the council proceeded to the next agenda item.
