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.

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.

Step 2: Final Applications Due

Final applications are due on or before April 30, 2025. The applications will be reviewed and considered for funding based on project development status (readiness), public comment, technical scores, and committee recommendations.

Multiagency and ATAC Scoring Workshop(s) and Public Involvement

Eligible projects will be scored, ranked by project or 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) will review, and make a recommendation to the TAC, for all active transportation projects regardless of funding category.

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.

Executive Committee Recommended Projects Presentation

Once AAMPO’s TAC funding recommendations are complete, they are considered by AAMPO’s TPB Executive Committee. The Executive Committee reviews the recommendations and deliberates the merits of the projects based on regional needs and long-term goals.

TAC and Policy Board Action on Proposed Projects

The funding recommendation process for the proposed projects occurs in two steps: the first month information is presented and the second month action is taken. This process allows for additional time for public comment and provides the committee with another opportunity to deliberate, if needed.

The TAC and TPB meetings in August 2025 will include an agenda item for information only. Both groups will take action in September 2025 to approve a list of projects for federal funding in each of the funding categories. The TAC recommends approval of the project list while the Transportation Policy Board takes ultimate action on the final list.

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.
