W&0 ACGi%.i Community Devel Reith Burnsed MPO Planner June 21; 1995 R SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROJECT APPLICATIONS It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of June 27, 1995. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) mandates that 10% of all Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds allocated under the provisions of the act be available for transportation enhancements. Funding for enhancement projects is distributed through the FDOT District Offices. Applicants for enhancement projects may be local governments, state agencies, state or national interest groups, or local interest groups. In areas with MPOs, the MPO must receive and formally submit the applications to FDOT. Each enhancement project application must have a project sponsor. The project sponsor must be a local, state, or federal agency which will provide the required funding match and undertake necessary actions to implement the proposed project. The project applicant and project sponsor may be the same. While the MPO must submit the enhancement applications to FDOT, the County and municipalities, as project sponsors, play the largest role in the enhancement application process. It is the local governments that decide the enhancement projects for which to submit applications. 57 JUNE 27, 1995
