Complete Streets and Other Localized Initiatives Program

 

The adoption of Commitment 2040, the Broward MPO’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), set the stage for a new program for funding local mobility projects.  The new Complete Streets and Other Localized initiatives Program is a streamline program that will merge the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding with additional MPO funding for mobility projects.  The program can potentially fund mobility projects such as, but are not limited to, complete streets projects, traffic calming and intersection improvements, ADA upgrades, mobility hubs, bus shelters, bike racks and technology advancements such as transit signal priority and traffic control devices. 

For a full description of the Complete Streets and Other Localized Initiatives Program, please refer to page 31 of Commitment 2040 at: http://archive.browardmpo.org/commitment-2040/investment-plan or click here for the PowerPoint Presentation of the Complete Streets and Other Localized Initiatives Program.

The 2015 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) cycle, formally known as the Transportation Enhancement Program is underway.  The TAP, authorized by MAP-21, provides funding for programs and projects including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, community improvement activities, and environmental mitigation.  Also, TAP funding is for recreational trail program projects, safe routes to school projects (SRTS) and projects for the planning, design or construction of boulevards and other roadways largely in the right-of-way of former Interstate System routes or other divided highways.

This year approximately $4.4 million will be available for the MPO for this program. Please note that these funds are an estimated allotment from FHWA, and are subject to change. The minimum TAP project application accepted will be $250,000 with a maximum of $1 million. There are no minimum funding thresholds for programs which do not require design, engineering or construction.  A maximum of two (2) applications per applicant/municipality may be submitted.  Projects and programs awarded/programmed for this cycle will be funded in FY 2018/19.
