The proposed budget tables reflect continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning (3C) funds, consisting of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) metropolitan planning (PL) funds and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 funds that the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) expects to receive for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2017. CTPS has received its estimated FFY 2017 FHWA PL allocation of $2,872,797. MAPC's FFY 2017 FHWA PL allocation is $673,866. CTPS has received its estimated amount of FFY 2017 FTA Section 5303 allocation of $1,291,141. MAPC's FFY 2017 FTA Section 5303 allocation is $331,629. All of these federal allocations include a state match.This proposed budget also reflects projects funded with State Planning and Research (SPR), FTA Section 5303, and other funds from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT); projects funded with Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) funds; and projects funded from other sources.

a: The total contract amounts include direct costs. These are not included in the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) budget amounts in the table and are shown separately in the Direct Costs budget table.
b: The term of the MassDOT SPR Contract is from April 1st through March 30th. Therefore, the total FFY budgets in the UPWP represent a combination of 6 months of funding from two different contract years. The total contract amount listed for the MassDOT SPR is the total contract amount for the 2016-2017 contract.
c: The MassDOT Transit Planning Assistance Contract (also called MassDOT Section 5303 Contract). The total FFY budgets in the UPWP represent 6 months of two different contracts (MassDOT Section 5303 Contracts are issued every SFY). The total contract amount listed for the MassDOT Transit Planning Assistance is the amount of one SFY contract.
