Monday, March 6th, 2017

Dayton, OH - The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission’s (MVRPC’s) Board of Directors recently awarded $36.7 million in Federal transportation funds for thirty-five (35) roadway, traffic signal, bikeway, transit, transportation alternatives and planning projects that will benefit the Miami Valley Region. MVRPC’s regionally-controlled Surface Transportation Program (STP), Transportation Alternatives (TA), and statewide Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) funds, when matched with local dollars, will fund over $55.3 million worth of transportation projects. All of the projects are located throughout MVRPC’s transportation planning area, which includes Greene, Miami and Montgomery Counties, and Carlisle, Franklin and Springboro in northern Warren County, Ohio.

In accordance with the Statewide CMAQ Policy, projects recommended for CMAQ funding, by MVRPC’s Board, will subsequently be submitted to the Statewide CMAQ Committee for final consideration for funding during the next solicitation cycle.

In September of 2016, MVRPC solicited member jurisdictions for new transportation projects that would be eligible for STP, CMAQ and TA funds. By the October 5, 2016 deadline, forty-eight (48) applications for projects totaling over $66.9 million had been received. The applications were then made available for public comment and subsequently ranked by 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 between the years 2018-2023.
