2024-12-20 - 2024 Annual List of Obligated Projects
Federal Transportation Funds spent in the Region
The List of Obligated Projects is an annual statement by the Metropolitan Planning Organization detailing the expenditure of federal transportation funds in the region. When the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) obligate funds, the agencies are committing federal resources to a specific transportation project, grant, or transit system. While obligations do not line up exactly with active construction of roadway projects, they do provide insight into what projects are being prepared for construction (engineering and design), are in construction, or have been recently completed. The 2024 Annual Listing of Obligated Projects has been published and details how the $123.5 million of federal funding obligated in the region was distributed to projects, programs, and transit agencies.
