Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (VDRPT) is applying for FFY 2022 Section 5303 Metropolitan Planning Program (MPP) funds in the amount of $3,408,991 to support the funding of 14 Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWPs) throughout the state.
VDRPT is also applying for FFY 2022 Section 5304 funds in the amount of $765,356 for statewide transportation planning. The Statewide Planning and Research (SPR) Work Program is attached in TRAMS and includes a description and funding amount for each of the plans and studies listed in the ALIS.
The non-federal share will be provided by the respective metropolitan areas across the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The FTA has approved the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for MWCOG on June 1, 2022, the only large urbanized area and air quality non-attainment or maintenance area remaining in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Funding in this application reflects what has been approved in the MPOs UPWPs. Approval letters and UPWPs are attached in TRAMS under application documents.
Purpose: The purpose of this award is to support the funding of 14 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) so that they can carry out the activities in their FY2023 Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWP). It is also to support the planning activities of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Activities to be performed: Funds will be used to cover the activities in the approved UPWPs of our 14 MPOs, which include general planning and programming, short and long-term planning, TIP development, transit studies, human service transportation coordination, and addressing safety and security issues. The Commonwealth will also help transit agencies develop Transit Development Programs (TDPs) and Transit Strategic Plans (TSPs). Studies and surveys to help improve transportation services in the Commonwealth will also be funded.
Expected outcome: Funding ensures the MPOs and the Commonwealth are carrying out transportation planning activities to comply with federal transportation planning regulations.
Intended beneficiaries: All citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia that rely on efficient, safe, and effective transportation services and facilities to get them where they need to go.
Subrecipient activities: Funds will be given to the following MPOs to cover the activities in their approved UPWPs: Roanoke Valley MPO, Hampton Roads TPO, Richmond Regional TPO, Tri-Cities MPO, Washington D.C. MPO (Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments or MWCOG), Fredericksburg MPO, Harrisonburg-Rockingham MPO, Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro MPO, Charlottesville MPO, Bristol MPO, Kingsport MPO, Winchester MPO, Lynchburg MPO, and New River Valley MPO. Funds will also be given to the Thomas Jefferson PDC to conduct a study on their regional transit and the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission to conduct a survey to better understand the transportation usage in their region.
