AAMPO Multimodal Regional Thoroughfare Study, Subtask 4.7 in the FY26-27 UPWP,
procurement has resulted in three teams being shortlisted. The Policy Board
will take action at the March 23, 2026 meeting. A special thank you to the
consultant selection committee for their time and efforts reviewing the eight
proposals.
b. The
FY27-30 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is being finalized. All local
partners, with programmed projects in the existing FY25-28 TIP that have had
any scope or fee changes, must contact AAMPO staff at projects@alamoareampo.org by Friday, March 20, 2026.
c. AAMPO
will host a series of public meetings in March to gather input on the Draft
FY27-30 TIP. Meetings will be held in Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Medina, and
Kendall Counties, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and presentations beginning
at 6:00 p.m. The public comment period runs from March 16 through April 16,
2026. Public review and comments may also be submitted online at www.alamoareampo.org/yourmove.
d. The
Freight Advisory Committee will meet on Friday, April 10, 2026 from 10 a.m. to

please contact Sonia at jimenez@alamoareampo.org.
e. The
AAMPO regional bus tour will conclude with Medina County on Wednesday, March
11, 2026. Thus far, the tour has been a success. AAMPO’s new Executive Director
Brendon Wheeler and staff have visited project locations and gained valuable
insights and more familiarity with the Study Area. A presentation will be
provided at the March Policy Board meeting.
f. This
summer, AAMPO will be convening a technical workgroup(s) to inform next steps
based on strategic direction from the Transportation Policy Board. Given the
boundary expansion, challenges related with air quality conformity, and
normalization of statewide lettings based on revenue forecasts, the Board may
wish to be more aggressive in developing innovative partnerships and creating a
system-focused pipeline of regional projects in the long-range plan to better
feed an implementation-ready Transportation Improvement Program.
g. The AAMPO
office will be closed on April 3, 2026 in observance of Good Friday and Friday,
