Boston Region MPO: Draft FFY 2015 UPWP Budget: Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) Projects (Updated April 17, 2014)

 

The proposed budget below reflects 3C dollars—which are made up of FHWA PL funds and FTA Section 5303 funds—that CTPS expects to receive for FFY 2015.Until final allocations have been determined, CTPS assumes that its PL and Section 5303 allocations will be level funded compared to FFY 2014. In FFY 2014, CTPS received $2,888,473 in FHWA PL funds and $1,246,565 in FTA Section 5303 funds. This proposed budget also reflects funds that CTPS will or expects to receive to conduct work for various transportation agencies and other entities.

 

Amounts have been rounded to the nearest $10. Project status and financial data on this sheet are subject to change.
