FY 2027-2030
Call for Projects

Project Call Begins

The FY 2027-2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Call for Projects is a competitive process used to award federal funding for transportation projects and programs throughout the AAMPO region. This project call includes funding opportunities for projects and programs eligible under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG), Transportation Alternatives (TA), and Carbon Reduction (CRP) funding programs. This project call will be conducted in a two-step process: 1) Eligibility Review and 2) Final Application. See schedule listings for more details.

Mandatory Informational Workshops

Workshop attendance (online or in-person) is mandatory for all applicants.

Step 1: Project Eligibility Phase Applications Due

Step 1 is intended to screen applications for eligibility of program funds. The submittal includes information regarding project scope, cost, location, and other details used to determine project eligibility for each specific funding category. Projects will be reviewed and notices for eligibility sent in the order in which they are submitted.

You may download a Project Submittal Form template to prefill your project's information prior to submission. This file is intended for your record-keeping only. Only projects submitted through the online Project Submittal Form will be considered.

Prioritizing Funding for Project Cost Estimate Increases

In June 2025, TxDOT notified AAMPO that multiple projects approved for funding in past Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) documents have seen significant construction cost increases as a result of rampant inflation. As a result, all partners that submitted projects in the FY27-30 TIP project call were required to present information regarding new submittals and requests for additional construction funding. These requests were considered by AAMPO’s partners as priority and as a result, a new funding methodology was developed. In September 2025, the TAC, Executive Committee, and TPB reviewed and approved the updated funding methodology prioritizing project cost estimate increases and programming remaining CRP funds as soon as possible before evaluating new projects requested within the FY27-30 TIP project call.

Multiagency and ATAC Scoring Workshop(s) and Public Involvement

Eligible projects were scored, ranked by funding type, made available for public comment, and recommended for award and programming into the FY 2027-2030 TIP. AAMPO’s Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) reviewed and made a recommendation to the TAC for all active transportation projects within the TA funding program. To review the scoring criteria for each funding program and to see the applicable project scores for all submitted projects, see the links below.

In additional to project scoring, agency priority, and project readiness, AAMPO conducts significant public engagement to the public for all submitted projects. For more information on the public input process utilized in the project prioritization process and the results, click the button below.

TIP Public Engagement

TAC Funding Recommendation Work Session

AAMPO’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) considers the multiagency work group’s feedback and public comment as factors for determining the funding recommendations to AAMPO’s Transportation Policy Board (TPB) Executive Committee. The funding recommendation process considers technical score, agency priority, public input and project development status (readiness) as well as meeting the financial constraints of each funding category. In August 2025, TAC reviewed presentations from partner agencies regarding significant project cost estimate increases for project approved for funding in previous Transportation Improvement Programs. The total increase in construction estimates presented to TAC amounted to about $129 million. At the October 2025 TAC meeting, the committee took action to recommend all projects requesting funds for project cost estimate increases be approved for a total of approximately $94 million following updated cost estimates and the removal of Evans Road Phase III from additional funding consideration by Bexar County. In addition, the TAC approved ATAC’s September funding recommendation for the Transportation Alternatives program within the FY27-30 TIP with the exception of the City of Shavano Park’s submittal as a result of the project’s removal from consideration for funding by the applicant. The total bicycle/pedestrian funding approved was approximately $18.2 million. In December 2025, the TAC reviewed the staff-recommended funding for the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) programs within the FY27-30 TIP and in a separate action, the projects recommended to be programmed in FY26 to utilize CRP funds. The TAC approved the staff’s funding recommendation with no changes. All approved TAC recommendations are considered by AAMPO’s TPB Executive Committee before ultimate approval by TPB.

Executive Committee Recommended Projects Presentation

In October 2025, AAMPO’s TAC funding recommendations for project cost estimate increases and TA were finalized and considered by AAMPO’s TPB Executive Committee. The Executive Committee reviewed the recommendations and deliberated the merits of the projects based on regional needs, long-term goals, and the funding methodology adopted in September 2025. The TAC October 2025 recommendation was approved for consideration to the full Transportation Policy Board at the October 2025 meeting. In December 2025, the Executive Committee reviewed the TAC recommendation for the FY26 CRP projects and the new FY27-30 TIP STBG and CMAQ projects. The Executive Committee approved the recommended funding with the amendment to include Bexar County’s Evans Rd Phase IV within AAMPO’s Appendix D to continue preliminary project development; this does not secure funding for the project.

Action to Approve FY 2027-2030 TIP/Mobility 2050 Update/2026 Conformity Determination

Once projects are approved for funding, AAMPO drafts the FY 2027-2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the associated Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Mobility 2050, and the 2026 Transportation Conformity Determination. All three of these documents will be considered by TAC and TPB in a two-step process with information in April 2026 and action in May 2026.
