UPWP Committee Recommendation Boston Region MPO: Draft FFY 2016 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Budget Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) Projects (April 30, 2015)

    

The proposed budget below reflects 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 Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) expects to receive for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2016.  MAPC has received its estimated FFY 2016 FHWA PL allocation of $635,391, which includes a state match. Until final allocations have been determined, MAPC assumes that its FTA Section 5303 allocation will be level-funded compared to FFY 2015. In FFY 2015, MAPC was allocated $329,305 in FTA Section 5303 funds, which includes a state match.

 

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