The Missouri Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the award of 2018 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 activities related to the surface transportation system that focus on non-motorized transportation projects, with an emphasis on bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
MoDOT will award two years of funding (FY 2019 and FY 2020) for projects located outside of the State’s three urban Transportation Management Areas. There were 86 applications submitted with a total federal funding request of $21.5 million. 36 project applications were competitively selected for award of federal funding totaling approximately $8.4 million.
Local public agencies (LPA) are reimbursed for eligible project costs at a rate of up to 80 percent with the local agency providing a minimum 20 percent match.
The sponsors of awarded projects will soon receive official project award notification from their MoDOT District LPA program coordinator with information detailing the next steps in the TAP project implementation process.
