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 Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) expects to receive for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2017. CTPS has received its estimated FFY 2017 FHWA PL allocation of $2,872,797, which includes a state match.CTPS has received its estimated amount of FFY 2017 FTA Section 5303 allocation of $1,291,141, which includes 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.

aThe 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.
bThe 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.
cThe 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.
NA = No FFY 2016 budget or status noted either because this is a new study or contract, or because this study or contract was not active in FFY 2016.
The FFY 2016 budget for FFY 2017 Review of Fare Structure Study refers to the budget spent under the currently ongoing contract, MBTA 2014 Review of Fare Structure. The FFY 2017 budget represents what will be spent under the new contract in FFY 2017.
