Dayton, OH – The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) Board of Directors recently approved $26.7 million in federal transportation funds for 29 roadway, bikeway/pedestrian, transit, and planning projects that will benefit the Miami Valley Region. MVRPC’s regionally-controlled Surface Transportation Program (STP), Transportation Alternatives (TA) and Carbon Reduction (CR) funds will finance over $41.3 million in transportation projects when matched with local dollars. The projects are located throughout MVRPC’s Metropolitan Planning Organization area, which includes Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and northern Warren Counties.

In September 2023, MVRPC solicited member jurisdictions for new transportation projects that would be eligible for STP, TA and CR funds. By the October 11, 2023 deadline, 36 applications for projects with a total cost of over $66.1 million had been received. The applications were then made available for public comment and subsequently ranked using adopted criteria. A list of the recommended projects was reviewed by MVRPC’s Technical Advisory Committee and then by MVRPC’s Board of Directors for approval. The projects are expected to be implemented from years 2025 to 2029.
