The Missouri Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the award of the 2020 Transportation Alternatives Program projects.
The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) is federally funded through the FAST Act. The goal of the program is to expand transportation choices and enhance the transportation experience through categories of activities related to the surface transportation system. The TAP focuses on non-motorized transportation projects with an emphasis on bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Applications for 66 projects were received statewide with a total federal request of $22.6 million. Sixteen projects were selected totaling approximately $3.9 million in federal funds. This funding is for projects located outside of the State’s three urban Transportation Management Areas. Please see the link below for a complete list of the project awards.
The sponsors of awarded projects will soon receive official project award notification from their MoDOT District Local Public Agency program coordinator with information detailing the next steps in the TAP project implementation process.
Local public agencies are reimbursed for eligible project costs at a maximum rate of 80 percent with the local agency providing a minimum 20 percent match.
