The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) created a TPA program to use Federal Surface Transportation Program funds to advance lower-cost, non-regionally significant transportation projects identified by our communities. The Local Initiatives (LI) program allocated around $26 million annually; up to $5 million per project; through a competitive application process. View the prior LI Program Overview (PDF).
The majority of prioritized projects included complete streets, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), operational improvements, signing and lighting; and transit vehicles and facilities.
The LI projects were prioritized in the List of Priority Projects, which is presented to the committees and Governing Board each July.
To view the status of prioritized projects from the LI program, use the link below.
